I want to go back before it’s too late! 
I switched to google by mistake! 
Loved Fitbit for the motivation now nothing!

Once you move your account to Google, there is no moving back.

To see your friends , you'll need to have them move their accounts to Google.

Hi @lovethesale76. A warm welcome to the forums.

Thank you for sharing the inquiry regarding your account. 

As @gdio53 said, there is no way to moving back to Fitbit once you have moved to Google. However, I'd like to remember the benefits to move to Google:

• Single Google login to manage your connected apps and paired devices.
• Google’s industry-leading privacy and security with added, unified privacy controls.
• Continued commitment to privacy, as your Fitbit health and wellness data won’t be used for Google Ads and will continue to be kept separate from Google Ads.

If you'd know more information about it, please visit: What should I know about moving Fitbit to my Google Account?

Thanks @gdio53 for helping.

Agreed! I feel like I took the wrong fork road and now there’s no going back 😩

So it seems the benefits in google are all to do with system/security and nothing to do with fitness /health.  I'm all about tracking my health stats and really hate that fitbit is now linked to something else - I was very happy with the old app.  Really miss the sleep features/display.  The new dashboard is soooo difficult to read - graphics too small to see even with my reading glasses on I'm struggling, and hard to understand.  I need a new device too soon - have had a fitbit forever mostly because I loved the app.  Might have to see what else is on the market.

Pretty sure I didn't choose to move to the new format, it just happened!

The latest fitbit update has ruined the last remaining fitbit feature that that was not decimated by google!!

The sleep, tracking features were colorful, informative, and easy to read. Now, as with all of the Google updates to Fitbit, sleep, tracking features are monochromatic, confusing, and difficult to read!

What happened to all of the App designers who were working with Fitbit? Evidently they didn’t transition to Google! I believe that Google is trying to destroy Fitbit in order to get all the Fitbit customers to purchase Google trackers!
I am so disgusted with the Google takeover of Fitbit! 😡

Dealing with the Google app is a pain in the app! I'm thinking about canceling my account and starting a new one. Does anyone have any ideas as to whether this will work or not? I can't see my dashboard!!

I'm feeling the same - can't remember when i got my first Fitbit, many, many years ago and i have loved it, especially the sleep tracking features.  the continual 'improvements' all seem retrograde to me, very disappointing.  How are you finding the Garmin?  What's the app like?

Good luck

This post is totally B.S. Google is not looking out for our privacy or safety. They have a terrible track record for safe guarding our data and personal information.

[Clayton69]

I’m thinking the same way. Absolutely looking for something else to track my health after more than 10 years with Fitbit.

How about when your friends have moved to Google and you can't add your friends and they can't add you?

How about a fix to add friends once you and your friends have moved to Google. It's not working
