Since Fitbit is owned by Google now, do they plan on adding google in an update?

Fitbit is not yet owned by Google.  That still has to be approved by government of several countries.  So nobody can say what will happen when/if it does totally go through.

I believe they already own Fitbit. I am including the first line of a
Forbes article, dated Nov 1, 2019. "Fitbit is now to be part of Google’s
range of companies. After days of rumors and reports, Fitbit has been
acquired

by Google for $2.1 billion."

See Google’s Takeover Of Fitbit Faces Another Regulatory Hurdle  dated Jan 15,2020.

I expect Forbes wording was a bit imprecise; at that point, rather than 'having been acquired', it was that Fitbit management/directors and Google had reached agreement, but it still had to get shareholder approval, now done, and regulatory approval of several countries, still not resolved.  Though many have been assuming it will go through, nothing is finalized yet.

Thank-you for the information. As with many news media sites these days
Sensationalism is more important than fact!
