Explore the redesigned Fitbit app

You'll have quick access to the metrics you care about most, such as steps, weekly cardio load, readiness, calories, and sleep.

• Start your day right with a morning message about how well you slept and how physically ready you are for the day ahead.
• After a workout, you’ll get a breakdown of your performance and tips for how to improve.
• In the evening you'll receive a recap of your day, including info about how your body responded to your activities and progress towards your fitness plan (if you have one).

Important: You must have Fitbit app version 4.68 or higher.

We've listened to your feedback and have revamped our fitness plans to provide a more flexible coaching experience.

• Personalized weekly targets: Instead of a set schedule, you’ll now get personalized weekly targets based on your health goals. If a target feels too demanding or causes pain, listen to your body and adjust your goals.
• Tailored workouts: Coach provides tailored workouts to help you reach each target or you can do it your own way; you can now complete these with step-by-step guidance.
• Plan retirement: Previous scheduled plans are being removed but you can still download or delete your completed plans.
  • To export your data:
    • In the Fitbit app, tap your profile picture Fitbit settings .
    • Tap Manage data and privacy Export your data Export your data.

Chat with the coach to create a personalized plan

Your coach starts with a conversation about your goals, your challenges, and where you are with your health journey.

1. Once you've joined Public Preview, continue to “Chat with Coach”.
2. Answer the coach’s questions about your goals, where you're starting from, and co-create a plan that's personalized for you to progress towards your goals.
3. At the end of the conversation, you’ll find the personalized plan setup in the Fitness tab.

Your coach provides fitness suggestions. Always progress at a pace that feels sustainable for you.

Tip: The information you provide is stored in the conversation transcripts. Tap Ask Health  History.

At the top of the Fitness tab, you can find your plan for the week, which includes your weekly targets and an associated set of recommended workouts.

Coach guidance: Before you start a workout, the coach provides a fully personalized explanation with the routine organized into custom segments like warm up, cool down, core, upper body, and more.

• Interactive execution: As you complete a workout, check off your exercises one by one and log your reps and weights directly in the app.
• View options: Workouts default to a full-screen interactive view. You can minimize this player to get the full workout as a list and check off individual exercises as you go.
• Workout feedback: As you finish, rate your workout to indicate session difficulty. This feedback helps your coach provide more personalized recommendations in the future.
• Save workouts: You can save your favorite workouts from the coach by selecting the bookmark icon at the top of the workout overview. You can then access these workouts in ‘Saved workouts’.

Merging a completed workout started on a device & mobile

If you tracked a workout on your watch without starting the guided phone experience, you can still merge those recorded metrics with your coach's planned session afterward. This allows you to see your actual performance data and the intended workout structure in a single, unified view.

1. In the Fitness tab, tap the recommended workout you completed.
2. On the workout overview page, tap I have done this workout.
3. Select the recorded session from your activity history to link it.

Soon you will be able to adjust your plan, including your targets and workouts, at any time by talking to the coach directly.

To adjust your plan conversationally, simply tell the coach what you need:

• "I’m traveling this week, can we adjust my plan accordingly?"
• "Make this workout longer" or "Make it easier"
• "The treadmill is busy today"
• "I’ve injured my foot"

Important: Do not rely on the coach to determine the safety of an exercise if you are in pain. Seek professional advice as needed.

• Better "Time to Sleep" tracking: Your device can more accurately tell the difference between relaxing (like reading a book) and actually trying to fall asleep. This means your "Time in Bed" will more closely match your real sleep habits.
• More accurate sleep stages: The updated algorithm can more accurately categorize a wider variety of sleep patterns and schedules.

• More transparent metrics: You can now see exactly how specific factors—such as total sleep duration, time to sound sleep, and restlessness—impacted your daily score, removing the guesswork behind why your number changed.
• Holistic sleep view: Our updated algorithms now unify your entire night into a single journey, accounting for everything from how quickly you settle into deep sleep to minor interruptions and total sleep satisfaction.
• Personalized coach-led insights: Beyond just a score, you will receive actionable advice from the coach to help you improve your sleep. Note this is available to Premium users only.
• A new score baseline: Because this update uses a more high-definition view of your rest and captures a more detailed picture of your night, you may notice your Sleep Score shift to a new baseline.

To learn more about the improved sleep score, see our blog post.

Note:

• If you ask your coach about your new Sleep Score, you may receive inaccurate details regarding your Sleep Score sub-metrics. This is a known issue, and we’re working to resolve it soon.
• Your Sleep Score on your device may not match the new Sleep Score you’re seeing in the app. This is a known issue that we’re planning to fix soon. In the meantime, the Sleep Score in your app is the most accurate.

The Sleep tab offers detailed information about your sleep summary, sleep stages, and sleep score.

• Learn more about Fitbit sleep score
• Learn more about Sleep Stages
• Edit Your Sleep (Android only): You can now edit your Sleep logs in Public Preview

Coaching gives you personalized tips to get your sleep on track and hit your sleep goals. It uses your sleep data to recommend ways to improve your sleep quality and consistency. These suggestions aren't meant to treat sleep disorders.

To get started, go to the Sleep tab to access your coaching spotlight, last night's sleep summary, and your main sleep metrics.

1. You can tap Say more about my sleep to start a conversation with your personal health coach built with Gemini in the Sleep tab.
2. Your coach will analyze your data based on your sleep metrics and provide detailed sleep insights and suggestions.

How to get your first VO2 max

Fitbit now measures VO2 max only during outdoor runs with GPS enabled and does not currently measure VO2 max while you’re walking, biking, or on the treadmill.

To get your first VO2 max, track a 10-minute outdoor run. If you don’t see VO2 max after one run, you may need to track up to three runs in 30 days. Make sure that you manually start a run on your device before you begin, since activity detection does not use GPS. It’s best to run on flat and unobstructed terrain, like around a track or park.

Best VO2 max accuracy

Once you’ve unlocked VO2 max, wear your device while sleeping and log a 10-minute outdoor run with GPS enabled at least once every six weeks for the best accuracy.

Ask your coach for guidance

Use Ask Health to go deeper on your VO2 max measurement, understand how your runs impact your score, and get personalized tips for improvement.

To delete nutrition or hydration data you synced from third-party apps like Health Connect, delete the data directly in the third-party app. This makes sure the deletions sync correctly between both the Fitbit app and the third-party app.

Custom foods previously added in the Fitbit app cannot be deleted within the Public Preview version of the Fitbit app at this time. To manage or delete these items, switch back to the publicly available Fitbit app.

Fix duplicate meals

Some third-party apps may report the same meal through multiple connections. For example, a connected app may log what you’ve eaten directly to the Fitbit app, then log it again via Health Connect. If you find the same meal listed multiple times in the Fitbit app, review your connected sources to choose how you sync your data.

Step 1: Check which nutrition apps you’ve connected in Health Connect

1. Open the Fitbit app .
2. Tap Devices Apps and Services Under “Settings,” tap Manage Health Connect.

1. From the Fitbit app , tap your profile picture Your data in Fitbit.
2. Under “Connected apps and devices,” tap Manage connected apps.
3. Check if any of the nutrition apps you noted above are listed here too. If so, proceed to the next step.
4. To stop a nutrition app from logging your food multiple times:
   1. From the “Connect apps” page, tap the name of the app Disconnect.
   2. This will stop the app from logging food directly in the Fitbit app, but still allow the app to log food via Health Connect.

To connect third-party apps to Public Preview:

• Set up Health Connect in both the Fitbit Public Preview app as well as the third-party app.
• If you encounter issues with missing data, consult your third-party app to ensure that it is connected and sending data.

Certain data types that are available in the publicly available Fitbit app may not be available in the Public Preview version. You can find a full list on the Fitbit Community.

For more information, refer to: How do I use Health Connect in the Fitbit app?

Tip: Your permissions for the Fitbit app apply to the Health Connect public and preview experience, and can be edited or removed at any time.

To transition from the Health Connect preview to the public experience, disable the preview in ”Privacy Center” and then enable the public experience within the Fitbit app.
