Google has announced that it is rolling out the redesigned Fitbit app. The redesigned app features a new three-tab structure to help users easily access the curated health and fitness content.
“The redesigned Fitbit app starts rolling out today. The new, simplified app is now easier to use and organized around three tabs — Today, Coach and You — to bring the health and wellness information you care about front and center,” the tech giant said in a blogpost on September 19, 2023.

According to Google, the new Fitbit app is designed to help you reach your goals. “We are committed to continuously improving the Fitbit platform and app to work toward our goal to help make the world healthier,” the company said.
Below are five ways to make the most out of the redesigned Fitbit app:
With the redesigned app, you can get more accurate step counts. Also, you can now track a walk, run or hike using just the Fitbit app on your phone– even if you're not wearing a Fitbit device or Google Pixel Watch.
To get started, connect your phone to the Fitbit app to automatically track steps or track your exercise directly from the Today screen.
To customise what stats you see, tap edit at the top of the Today tab. Then you can choose your focus based on personal goals. There are several goals, for example, to move more, sleep better, manage stress or anything in between. And you can also see the most important stats.
You can now quickly filter workouts based on workout type, duration, required equipment, instructor and more with the new Coach tab. There is also fresh content to pump up your routine.
Fitbit app’s charts now include easy-to-understand information about metrics and highlight patterns, helping you make sense of your health and wellness data. To view your exercise trends, Active Zone Minutes, or track how well you slept, tap on a metric to learn more about what it means for your health and wellness.
You can control what's saved and shared with a simple, secure app experience backed by Google’s privacy and security features. You can review and manage your data right from the app. “And, as always, your Fitbit health and wellness data won't be used for Google ads and will be kept separate from Google ads data,” Google explained.
