Here’s the bad news: Fitbit users without a Google account will soon need one. Here’s the good news: Those users got a last-second extension on the conversion deadline.
Fitbit users without a Google account were supposed to be out of luck today, Monday, Feb. 2, but they have been granted temporary relief. As The Verge spotted, a support page at Google notes the deadline has been pushed to May 19, 2026. So if you’re still working with a Fitbit account, then you’ll need to swap it out just in time for Memorial Day and the unofficial start of summer.
“After May 19, 2026, you can no longer access Fitbit with your Fitbit account. To continue using your account, you’ll need to move your Fitbit account to Google,” the post from Google reads.

It adds: “You can still download or delete your data any time before we begin processing data deletions on July 15, 2026.”

Google purchased Fitbit for more than $2 billion in 2019, with the deal officially completing in 2021. The migration of Fitbit users to Google accounts has been expected ever since. The deadline was supposed to be last year, then pushed to February, and now, ultimately, to May 2026.
