Google's acquisition of Fitbit continues to be more noticeable all the time. Now, Google is coming for your Fitbit account.
If you’re a proud and longtime Fitbit user, you’ll notice something different about the Fitbit app later this year. Starting this summer, Google will now allow Fitbit users to migrate their existing Fitbit account to a Google account.
