This is what the new Fitbit app will look like

From this summer it will be possible to transfer your Fitbit account to a Google account, which will eventually be mandatory by 2025. That change is accompanied by some adjustments in the app itself. For example, we have already said goodbye to the Challenges, but the design of the app is also being overhauled. This is what the Fitbit app will look like.

It was actually intended that the Fitbit app would be overhauled as early as the fall of 2022, so it is not entirely affiliated with the transition to Google, but the new design of the app is now almost ready to be distributed, so it seems. The help page with information about how to use the Fitbit app now shows a picture of the iOS version of the app. Here’s what the iPhone version looks like (and probably Android’s as well):

There are no rigorous changes: the Today feed looks much the same, only the progress rings look slightly different. Still, it stands out: it was not on the previous screenshots of the new design of the app, which had appeared in the Play Store and App Store (but have now disappeared again). Also striking: in the middle screenshot we do not see the navigation bar at the bottom, but it can be spotted on the two other screenshots. You can also see the Discover tab on the left, Today in the middle, and Community on the right. Premium seems to have disappeared.

Discover is no longer a carousel either, but it mainly gives you access to more health options, such as programs in which a guide helps you with your health and the statistics of your fitness and health. It’s all not extremely different, but the app is definitely being refreshed. What we don’t see is a Material You design. So it looks like Google hasn’t chosen that for Fitbit, if at all.

What do you think, should Fitbit also go for Material You, or should it continue to exist more separately from Google? Leave it now in the comments.
