Google is rolling out a preview of the redesigned Fitbit app on Android, focusing on an AI-powered Fitbit Coach, but many features such as health tracking, social sharing, and advanced metrics are temporarily unavailable, with plans to add them before the full launch next year.
Fitbit app 4.50 is rolling out with a dark theme on Android and iOS, offering benefits like reduced eye strain, improved battery life on OLED devices, and a modern look, with users able to manually select their preferred theme in settings.
Fitbit's app is being redesigned with a new AI-powered Personal Health Coach, built with Google's Gemini, offering personalized health and fitness guidance, better data visualization, and customization features, available in an open beta for Fitbit Premium subscribers, with a focus on scientific research and partnerships to ensure reliable health advice.
Fitbit is rolling out new features in its app, including goal celebrations and the Steps streak, in response to user feedback about the Material You redesign. The goal celebrations, which appear in the main metric, have a Material You-esque design and are customizable. The Steps streak feature, originally available only on iOS, is now launching on Android as well. Additionally, Fitbit is introducing battery percentage in the top-left corner of the Today tab, initially for Pixel Watch users.
