Google-owned wearable brand Fitbit is planning to make Google Accounts mandatory on new Fitbit devices from next year.
According to Fitbit, Google will not use Fitbit health and wellness data for Google Ads.
“After we launch Google accounts on Fitbit in 2023, some uses of Fitbit will require a Google account, including to sign up for Fitbit or activate newly released Fitbit devices and features, “the wearable brand said on a support page.
“If you have a Fitbit account, after the launch of Google accounts on Fitbit, you’ll have the option to move Fitbit to your Google account or to continue to use your existing Fitbit devices and services with your Fitbit account for as long as it’s supported,” it added.
