The topic These Fitbit features won\u2019t be available in the Google Health app: Badges, sleep\u2026<\/strong> is currently the subject of lively discussion \u2014 readers and analysts are keeping a close eye on developments.<\/p>\n

This is taking place in a dynamic environment: companies\u2019 decisions and competitors\u2019 reactions can quickly change the picture.<\/p>\n

Ahead of the Google Health app rolling out next week, the company has detailed what Fitbit features are going away or significantly changing.<\/p>\n

Google Health won\u2019t bring over the Sleep Profile and monthly animals feature. Google says \u201cPremium users can ask the Google Health Coach questions about what type of sleeper they are and get personalized responses.\u201d<\/p>\n

Snore Detection on the Fitbit Sense and Versa 3 is going away.<\/p>\n

Estimated Oxygen Variation (EOV) is no longer available, with SpO2 data (Health tab) being the replacement.<\/p>\n

Your VO2 max will be calculated during runs with GPS data and can now include data from connected third-party apps. As part of these changes, your score will no longer be calculated based on your demographics, such as your height and weight.<\/p>\n

A personalized weekly cardio target replaces the daily goal.<\/p>\n

This flexible approach helps you focus on consistent progress over time; if you have a busy day or feel sick, you can make up the load later in the week.<\/p>\n

Google is getting rid of new badges and ones you\u2019ve previously collected. Instead, the Health Coach \u201cwill help to celebrate your progress and accomplishment.\u201d<\/p>\n

The updated Social profile switches to your Google Account name and profile picture. On first launch, \u201cyou will be prompted to approve sharing this information,\u201d along with email address. This new profile will no longer show \u201csex, height, weight, location, or friends list.\u201d<\/p>\n

Additionally, Google Health is getting rid of direct messages, Groups, and the Community Feed.<\/p>\n

On the old Fitbit app, \u201csocial experiences will be locked starting May 12, 2026.\u201d<\/p>\n

This means you won\u2019t be able to add or remove friends, and your leaderboard won\u2019t update. This pause is to help prepare your experience in the Google Health app.<\/p>\n

When you update to the Google Health app, you can manage your friends again and compete with them on your weekly leaderboard which now supports steps and Cardio Load.<\/p>\n
