Google Fit: Activity Tracking
About this version
Update cadence has slowed noticeably compared with the app's earlier years, which fits its transitional status. Releases now lean toward maintenance, compatibility, and bug fixes rather than new capability, while Google's fitness feature development shows up in the Fitbit app and in Health Connect at the platform level instead.
What recent updates focused on
- Maintenance and stability releases rather than headline features
- Adjustments around Health Connect as it replaces the deprecated Fit APIs
- Compatibility work for newer Android versions and Wear OS devices
Our update advice
Auto-update is fine and carries little risk given how conservative releases have become. The more important habit is occasionally exporting your data through Google Takeout, so a future migration or shutdown announcement never puts your history at risk.
The authoritative source for the current version number, changelog, and
requirements is the official Google Play listing
(package com.google.android.apps.fitness). Read our full assessment in the
