Google is ending support for Google Fit
Google has announced that it will soon stop the Google Fit API service by Jun 2025, encouraging users to switch to Health Connect API, a new platform that integrates health data from various apps and devices.
With this change, it's essential to move your data from Google Fit to Health Connect to avoid losing your historical health and fitness records. Google Fit will soon be unavailable, so making this switch is necessary to continue tracking your activities.
