Google Fitbit Air Fitness Tracker pairs with Google Health app on May 19

Google is introducing the fitbit air fitness tracker, a nearly invisible, lightweight device that pairs with the new Google Health app. Existing Fitbit users will see the app change on May 19 without downloading a different app, which keeps the transition inside the same account they already use.

Google Health app on May 19

The Fitbit app is becoming the Google Health app as an app update for existing Fitbit users on May 19. The new app puts wellness data into a centralized hub with four tabs, so the main change for users is where their information and tools live, not a fresh install or a separate sign-in.

Google is also inviting Google Fit users to migrate their data into the Google Health app later this year. That gives the company one place to pull together health and fitness records instead of splitting them across separate products.

Fitbit Air and Google Health Coach

The Google Fitbit Air is described as Google’s thinnest and mightiest tracker. It packs industry-leading sensors and can be worn 24/7, so the device is built for users who want continuous tracking without a screen-heavy band on the wrist.

A Google Health Premium subscription unlocks Google Health Coach for deeper health insights and personalized coaching. Google says the coach is built with Gemini, which means the premium tier is the part tied to more guided interpretation rather than the basic app update alone.

Google health data limits

Google says Fitbit user health data will not be used for Google Ads. That is the clearest privacy boundary in the launch, and it matters because the company is folding Fitbit into a broader Google Health system while asking users to trust a larger data platform.

For current Fitbit users, the practical move is simple: watch for the May 19 app update and keep the same account. For anyone considering the tracker itself, the open question is pricing, which Google did not include in the materials here.
