What's the difference between Google Fit and Google Health Connect?
Google Health Connect is the new unified health platform that replaced Google Fit's data sharing capabilities. It provides better security and more comprehensive health data management.
How often should my Fitbit sync with Google Fit?
Once properly connected, your Fitbit should sync with Google Health Connect automatically throughout the day, typically within 15-30 minutes of new activity data being recorded.
Can I sync multiple fitness apps with Google Health Connect?
