Feedback about Fitbit App and Apple Health

[honglong1976]

There was a thread but it was closed. It's not resolved. It's still an issue. There has been no integration with Apple Health.

All we get is the same generic reply "With regards to Apple Health, we continue to evaluate new partners and will update if we have news to share. Fitbit has a history of working with the community to bring potential features to reality, and we thank you for taking the time to share your ideas and suggestions."

I have already dumped my Fitbit and moved to an Apple Watch. It's my data. Why can't I sync it with Apple Health? How does GDPR affect Fitbit now it has come into force?

Unfortunately fitbit don't see this as an issue. Threads are marked as solved when the question has been answered e.g. can fitbit link with apple health? Answer: no

It may not be the answer you want but it is an answer. If you want things to change then that's where the feature suggestions come in. I see from your other posts you are already aware of this.

My thoughts on apple integration is: Why would they? They are competitors. What's in it for either side to link to the other. I can see the benefits for us but not for them.

I don't known whether it's fitbit or apple (or both) that doesn't want to move on this but I wouldn't expect anything to happen soon.
