How to install the Fitbit app on Windows 10: what works now
You can no longer install a supported Fitbit app on Windows 10. The old Windows desktop app was discontinued, and Fitbit's mobile app became the Google Health app on May 19, 2026. Google's current requirements list Google Health for Android phones running Android 11 or newer and iPhones running iOS 16.4 or newer, not Windows PCs. If you use Windows 10, the supported way to set up and sync a Fitbit is now through a compatible phone.
This changes the advice in older guides that tell you to open the Microsoft Store, install Fitbit for Windows, connect the tracker to the PC, and sync from the desktop. Those instructions are obsolete. The steps below show the current supported route without relying on old installers.
Can you install the Fitbit app on Windows 10?
No current Google Health or Fitbit desktop app is supported on Windows 10. Google lists the Google Health app requirements as Android 11 or higher or iOS 16.4 or higher. Google also confirms that the Fitbit app was renamed and redesigned as Google Health beginning May 19, 2026.
You may still see references to a Microsoft Store Fitbit app, Fitbit Connect, or a Windows USB setup process in old articles and forum posts. Do not download legacy installers from third-party archive sites. Even if an old package installs, it is not the current supported setup and sync path.
How to set up a Fitbit if your computer runs Windows 10
- Use a compatible phone. Check that you have an Android phone with Android 11 or newer, or an iPhone with iOS 16.4 or newer. Update the phone first if necessary.
- Install Google Health. Download the current Google Health app from Google Play or the Apple App Store. Google's official Fitbit setup instructions direct users to set up watches and trackers with a phone.
- Sign in with your Google Account. Open Google Health and sign in. If you previously used a Fitbit account, the current service requires Fitbit access through a Google Account.
- Prepare the tracker. Put the Fitbit on its charger before setup, keep the phone nearby, and make sure Bluetooth is turned on. A USB connection to the Windows PC is not required for normal setup.
- Add the Fitbit in Google Health. Open Google Health, tap Connections, choose Add device, select your Fitbit model, and follow the prompts. The device appears in the app after pairing.
- Let it sync over Bluetooth. Fitbit trackers and watches use Bluetooth Low Energy to sync with the phone. Google says the device normally syncs automatically when it is nearby and the app is opened; you can also start a manual sync from Connections. See Google's syncing guidance for the current behavior.
What can you still do from a Windows 10 PC?
Your PC can still be useful for account-related tasks that do not require direct tracker syncing. For example, Google provides a process to export Google Health and Fitbit data and save downloaded archives to a computer. You can also use the browser to read Google Health help documentation or manage other Google Account settings.
What Windows 10 cannot replace is the supported mobile pairing and sync process. Having Bluetooth on the PC does not restore the discontinued desktop app, and connecting a Fitbit charging cable to the computer does not turn Windows into a supported sync client.
If your Fitbit will not connect to Google Health
Start with the basics: keep the Fitbit close to the phone, charge it, verify Bluetooth is on, and make sure the phone has an internet connection. On Android, battery-saving modes or missing permissions can also interfere with setup. Google's Fitbit setup troubleshooting guide recommends checking phone compatibility, Bluetooth, and required permissions before trying again.
If the tracker was previously paired to another phone, remove or forget that old Bluetooth pairing before attempting setup on the new phone. Restarting the Fitbit and phone can also help with a stalled connection. The key point is that troubleshooting should now happen between the Fitbit and the supported mobile app, not between the Fitbit and the Windows 10 computer.
Bottom line
There is no current Fitbit app to install on Windows 10. Use Google Health on a compatible Android phone or iPhone to add the device, sync activity, and manage Fitbit data. Treat old Microsoft Store instructions, Fitbit Connect downloads, and PC-cable setup steps as outdated.
