Hey Fitbit community,

Setting up your Fitbit device should be quick and easy. Here are some tips to help you make the process smooth. 

How do I set up my Fitbit device?

Use your iPhone or Android phone to set up your Fitbit device. To verify that your phone is compatible with the Fitbit app, visit fitbit.com/devices.

If you’re new to Fitbit, you can get started by signing in with your Google Account. If you’re an existing Fitbit user you may be prompted to move Fitbit to your Google Account during setup.

There are plenty of benefits to moving Fitbit to your Google account. Once you move Fitbit to your Google Account, you’ll keep all of your historical Fitbit data, with additional benefits that include:

• A 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.

Note: If you're a member of a Fitbit Care program, your provider will let you know when you can move Fitbit to your Google Account.
