- Google has provided one more stroke for Fitbit users
- It is quiet to draw support to Google Assistant
- This means that devices will no longer work with the voice assistant
Fitbit’s death seems more and more inevitable with each month going, and now Google Support is ending Google Assistant on Fitbit devices, another sure sign of its death.
While Google Assistant is being replaced with Gemini on the best Android Smartwatches, which will probably start with Pixel Watch later in the year, there is no such hope for users of the best fitbits that completely lose Google Assistant in the coming days.
As noticed by several businesses, Google recently announced that Google Assistant Support would end up at Fitbit.
“Over the next few weeks, we will gradually phase out Google Assistant on your Fitbit device. You can learn more about this process here. This change means that Google Assistant voice control for activities will soon be no longer available on your Fitbit device,” the Fitbit’s Community Forum company said.
Google added that “We understand that changes can be disruptive and we value your feedback,” and that it remained “obliged to continuously improve your Fitbit and develop exciting new features.”

Now, Fitbit users report on Reddit messages that “Google Assistant on Fitbit Watches is rejected, this feature will stop working in the coming weeks.”
Fitbit users have been able to use Google Assistant to ask questions, set alarms, control the weather and perform many other features of the devices. The withdrawal makes some sense, given that Google is phased out an assistant elsewhere. As noted, however, it is on most devices in favor of the more skilled Google Gemini; However, Fitbit users simply lose a function and get nothing in return.
Google’s deletion of Fitbit continues immediately, and all signs are now pointing to the death of the brand in the future. The company has confirmed that it will Sunset Fitbit -Smartwatches in favor of Pixel Watch, and the chances are that its fitness trackers are not far behind.
The company has also closed the Fitbit site and has recently endured the furious user back of an update that crushed the battery life of Fitbit Sense and Versa 3 due to overheating concerns.
How many Fitbit users get access to Google Assistant regularly is unknown, but the loss of functionality symbolizes another stitch in the coffin of the brand and is sure to be unpopular with customers.
