- Google has given another blow to Fitbit users
- The support for the Google assistant is silent in silence
- It means that the devices will no longer work with the voice assistant
Fitbit’s death seems increasingly inevitable with every month that passes, and now Google is finishing the support for the Google assistant on Fitbit devices, another safe sign of his disappearance.
While Google Assistant is being replaced by Gemini in the best Android smart watches, probably starting with the Pixel clock at the end of this year, there is no so much hope for users of the best fitbits, who will lose the Google assistant completely in the next few days.
As multiple points of sale pointed out, Google recently announced and silently that Google’s assistant support would end in Fitbit.
“In the next few weeks, we will progressively eliminate Google’s assistant on his Fitbit device. You can get more information about this process here. This change means that Google Assistant’s voice control will soon be available on its Fitbit device,” said the company in the Fitbit community forum.
Google added that “we understand that the changes can be harmful and value their comments”, and that it remained “committed to continuously improve its fitbit application and develop new exciting features.”

Now, Fitbit users in Reddit report notifications that “Google Assistant in Fitbit watches is being rejected, this feature will stop working in the coming weeks.”
Fitbit users have been able to use the Google assistant to ask questions, establish alarms, verify the weather and perform many other functions on the devices. The retirement makes some meaning, since Google is eliminating the elimination of the assistant elsewhere. However, as noted, in most devices, that is in favor of Google Gemini more capable; Fitbit users, however, are simply losing a function and receiving nothing in return.
Google Fitbit’s deletion continues Apace, and all the signs now point to the disappearance of the brand in the future. The company has confirmed that the sunset in the smart Watches Fitbit in favor of the pixel clock, and it is likely that its physical conditioning tracers are not very late.
The company has also closed the Fitbit website and recently suffered a violent reaction from users about an update that crushed the battery of Fitbit Sense and Versa 3 due to overheating concerns.
It is unknown how many Fitbit users regularly access the Google assistant regularly, but the loss of functionality symbolizes another nail in the coffin for the brand and will surely be unpopular with customers.
