Samsung Health & Fitbit integration

Can we please have something that syncs our fit bit stats with our S Health stats? It's annoying to have multiple fitness platforms especially now that androids are becoming more and more popular as are fitness apps. It would be nice to do it all from one place.

As someone who prefers to use the Samsung Health app because of its features, it would be nice to be able to integrate the data I get from my Fitbit scale. Otherwise I'm left to find a different scale and completely abandon the Fitbit brand.

I have been using samsung health as my app for monitoring steps

 I was given a fitbit versa for Christmas and would like to use the Fitbit to update step counts in Samsung's health app.

Dear @Jlwatne and Community members! Thanks for sharing this suggestion. Our web API and smartwatch SDK are open which means that the service you are wanting can actually integrate with Fitbit! We’d encourage you to make your suggestion to the service and direct them to our existing API and SDK and resources such as the web dev API community. You will likely be able to email them via their contact us page or customer support, or they may have their own ideas board like this. Or encourage them to reach out to Fitbit directly! Thanks for your participation in the Feature Suggestion forums, we look forward to making Fitbit more useful for you.

SAMSUNG store now sells Fitbit products so why not sync them with S health

Wouldn't it be lovely if my Fitbit flex 2 synced with my Samsung Health? My husband just bought a Samsung phone and watch and want to share data with me for challenges. I have a fitbit. He will not be buying another device to wear. I will not be buying another device to wear.

Why isn't Fitbit listening to its customers?

Hi, Can we make a feature request to get s health and fitbit to work as one without a 3rd party application?

When will i be able to sync my Fitbit to s health. I'd love to see my fit bit steps sync to my Samsung S health. I wear my fit bit everywhere and sometimes don't carry my phone everywhere  So I'd love to see the steps on my fit bit on my Samsung s health steps.

Through 3rd party apps it is already possible to copy over steps from S health but these steps do not count towards challenges the number 1 reason I used fitbit. If you will not incorporate direct integration simply allowing these steps to count would be excellent. Go ahead and make it a premium "paid" feature it will be worth it.

Hi, would be good for FitBit to have an option to connect with friends who have Samsung Galaxy smartwatch and other smart watches with step count ability.

Fitbit program would benefit tremendously if other wearable tech can be linked to improve overall health care and support

I currently have the Samsung Galaxy watch 4 classic series and I absolutely
love it! I've always been a clock fan that wore watches and collect pocket
watches! I've always been a Samsung Galaxy user also and I don't know what
I'd do w out it or any devices that are the best health monitors and
programs! I received a notification that my insurance company covered the
Fitbit program and I really look forward to using all of the help I can get
and of course w out breaking the bank for lack of a better word lol
Please consider this request and please keep me updated either way! I
sincerely appreciate your time and effort to help me w this request! Thank

Now that Samsung and Google have teamed up, (Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 running Google's WearOs), and Google owns FitBit, why oh why is there not an app to install on Samsung Galaxy Watch 5, that we can use to link to the FitBit app to track steps?? Please implement this as soon as possible, It used to be possible with the Samsung Watch 3. Why not now?
