TL;DR
- Google has announced that it’s dropping a ton of Fitbit features as part of the switch to Google Health.
- The Google Health app won’t offer badges, a variety of social options, sleep profiles, sleep animals, and more.
- The new app also drops several key features for diabetics and others who want to track their blood glucose levels.
Google just announced the Google Health app yesterday, which is effectively a rebranded Fitbit app. The company outlined the new app’s features at the time of the announcement, but it quietly revealed some bad news for Fitbit app users.
A Google support page (spotted by 9to5Google) reveals that a host of Fitbit features have been dropped or substantially changed as part of the transition to the Google Health app. For starters, the Fitbit app’s badges are disappearing altogether.
