Google is opening a preview of its redesigned Fitbit app on Android starting October 28, but many features are missing. Eligible users—Android owners with Fitbit Premium and a compatible Fitbit or Pixel Watch—can test an AI-powered Fitbit Coach with an “Ask Coach” chat. During the preview, menstrual, nutrition, hydration, glucose, and temperature tracking are unavailable, as are sleep edits, heart-rate zone analysis, social features, badges, TCX export, Aria Air syncing, and Health Connect can’t import exercise sessions, routes, or health metrics from third-party apps. If gaps sting, users can switch back via the app’s “Switch app version” setting.
