How to Export Your Fitbit Data Before July 15
You have until July 15, 2026 to export your Fitbit data from the features Google removed. After that date, Google deletes it for good.
The fastest way to export your Fitbit data is Google Takeout, and the steps are below. The whole request takes about two minutes.
Your everyday numbers like steps, heart rate, and sleep are safe and carry over. The deadline covers the retired features: badges, Sleep Profile history, and group posts.
Steps below were checked against Google’s official export pages in July 2026.
How to Export Your Fitbit Data With Google Takeout
Use this method if you sign in to Fitbit or Google Health with a Google Account. Most people do after the account migration.
- On a computer or phone browser, go to takeout.google.com and sign in with the Google Account you use for Fitbit.
- Click Deselect all near the top of the product list.
- Scroll down and check the box next to Fitbit.
- Scroll to the bottom and click Next step.
- Leave the settings as they are and click Create export.
Google emails you a download link when the file is ready. Small accounts finish in minutes, but years of history can take hours or even days.
Download the file and save it somewhere safe, like your computer and a backup drive.
How to Export If You Still Use an Old Fitbit Login
Some longtime users never moved their Fitbit account to a Google Account. If that is you, export everything now, not just the removed features.
- Go to the Fitbit settings page at fitbit.com/settings/profile in a browser.
- Click Data Export in the Settings menu.
- Under Export Your Account Archive, click Request Data.
- Open the confirmation email Fitbit sends you and confirm the request.
- Watch for a second email with your download link, then save the file.
Large archives can take a few days to build. You can check progress on that same Data Export page.
How to Save Your GPS Workouts as Files
Runs, rides, and walks recorded with GPS can be exported one at a time as TCX files. Apps like Strava and Garmin Connect can import them.
- Open the exercise list in your app and tap a workout that used GPS.
- Tap the three dots in the corner.
- Tap Export as TCX File, then save or share it.
What Is Actually Being Deleted on July 15
The Fitbit app became the Google Health app in May 2026. In the move, Google retired several features and set a deletion date for the data behind them.
Going away: your badge history, Sleep Profile history, and your groups, community posts, and comments.
Staying: steps, heart rate, sleep, workouts, and the rest of your core health history. That data lives on in the Google Health app.
We covered the full switch in our guide on what happened to the Fitbit app.
What Is in the Export File
The archive is a folder of files, mostly spreadsheets and JSON files. It includes activity, exercise logs, sleep, health metrics like SpO2 and skin temperature, food and water logs, and your social data like groups and posts.
You will not need most of it. But once July 15 passes, there is no second chance at the deleted parts, so grab it all.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does exporting change anything on my Fitbit?
No. An export is just a copy. Your tracker and your app keep working exactly as before.
What happens if I miss the deadline?
The data from retired features is deleted and cannot be recovered, by you or by Google. Your core health data is not affected.
Can I move my Fitbit history to another brand?
Partly. TCX workout files import cleanly into most fitness apps, and some outside tools can convert the rest of the archive.
If your device is on its last legs anyway, here is how long a Fitbit lasts before replacement.
Which Fitbit models does this affect?
All of them, because the deadline is about your account data, not the device. If you are not sure what you own, here is how to tell which Fitbit you have.
Why is my tracker acting up since the app switch?
The new app changed some settings and sync behavior. If your battery took a hit, start with why your Fitbit battery is draining so fast.
