How Often Does Syncing Happen from Apple Health to Fitbit?

[dominikef]

Hi,

I have a question about syncing between Apple Health and Fitbit. I have the Fitbit app installed on my iPhone, and the connection to Apple Health is properly configured.

Assuming the Fitbit app runs in the background, how often does the sync occur from Apple Health to Fitbit? In the thread Syncing data from a connected Fitbit Sense, it mentions that syncing to Fitbit happens every 15 minutes, but how does it work with syncing from Apple Health to Fitbit?

Thanks for your help!

Syncing data from Apple Health to Fitbit isn't as frequent as syncing from Fitbit to Apple Health. Generally, the Fitbit app syncs data from Apple Health to Fitbit when the Fitbit app is opened and actively syncing, rather than on a set interval like every 15 minutes. It depends on how often you open the app and initiate a sync, as the process isn't fully automated in the background for Apple Health to Fitbit syncing.

To ensure that data syncs, you can open the Fitbit app regularly or use third-party apps like "FittoFit" that might help facilitate more frequent syncing between Apple Health and Fitbit.
