Google Health App

Will the renamed/revised Fitbit app, Google Health be supported on IOS?  Specifically my ipad?

I saw a splash screen saying  Fitbit app will be replaced by Google Health app.

I'm listening to  Vergecast now.  Google is planning to  connect it not just to Fitbit devices  but Apple Watch for iOS users.  So it will use AI to give you health tips that nobody asked for.

Expect it to collect a lot more data on you and I would not be surprised if it hid some of the data you're used to, like stairs climbed for the devices which have an altimeter.

@wcrosman   Yes, Google Health will be in the App Store, just like the Fitbit app is in the App Store.  I like the app on my iPad to see videos larger.  From time to time app versions haven't filled the screen quite right.  But that is the only issue that comes to mind.

@hyybid   Just some clarification.  Until now, we needed a third party app to link to Apple Heath.  I never thought I'd see the day, but that connection is in the new app.  The AI Coach is a Premium feature.  You don't have to interact with it if you don't want to.  This is the app view available in the Public Preview.

Thank you.  Wonder if my google pixel 2 watch will be able to sync thru the ipad app.  To date it will only sync on android.

@wcrosman   PW syncing is Android only.
