- Fitbit users have more time to switch to Google accounts
- The new deadline is May 19 (pushed back from February 2)
- Switching is quick and straightforward, via the Fitbit app
Not long after Google bought Fitbit in 2021, it became clear that Fitbit accounts would be swallowed by Google accounts – but if you’re yet to make the switch, Google is giving you a little bit more time to get around to it.
As per the official support page (via The Verge), the lights will go off for Fitbit accounts on May 19, 2026: after that time your Fitbit account will no longer work with Fitbit devices. The deadline for downloading your data is a little later, on July 15, 2026.
Previously, Google had said Fitbit accounts would stop working on February 2, which is Monday. That itself was an extension, because the original plan was to get everyone migrated over to Google accounts sometime during 2025.
Google hasn’t said why the deadline has been extended, but presumably there are either…
