We’re updating the Fitbit app to become the Google Health app, a centralized place for your health and wellness data. This new era debuts a comprehensive, redesigned wellness destination that brings together the best of Fitbit’s pioneering spirit with the helpfulness of Google.

Kill me immediately

"Wellness" is an instant red flag.

Google Fit, Health Connect, and now Google Health. Let's just keep adding apps.

Google Fit: Am I a joke to you?

[–] artyom@piefed.social 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Is this not the Google Fit app? Is there now a Google Health and a Google Fit app? That's almost as bad as Google Meet and Google Meet.

Theyre updating the Fitbit to be the Google Health app.

Distinct from the Google Fit (and Google Health Connect) app...

As part of our transition to Google Health, we'll also consolidate our health and fitness offerings. We’ll invite Google Fit users to migrate their data into Google Health app later this year.

Okay so I guess they're killing FitBit and Google Fit at the same time, while, for some reason introducing a new app? Why not just kill Fitbit and use Google Fit?

Finally a single place where i can bring all my health data from various poorly calibrated devices so it can be sold in a way that identifies me. Wellness Y'all!

Who on earth would trust Google with their health. Their entire financial structure is based on manipulating psychology. Now they expect you to let them get you hooked on physical exploitation too? Just one more fix Gemini, then I'll log off.

Probably the same asshats that enjoy their Digital Wellbeing app, if I had to guess. Of which, there are a metric fuck ton of them apparently.

[–] lemmysmash@beehaw.org 3 points 5 days ago

TL;DR: they want more of your data

[–] Bot@sub.community 2 points 5 days ago

Sounds like Google’s Health that nobody cares about

Wow this could be really great for the 6 weeks before it's killed off.

Fuck r ght off
