How to link Google Health

You can link your Google Health (formerly Fitbit) account from our iOS and Android apps, as well as from our Website. 

Once you have registered your tracker and created an account with Google Health, you can take the steps below for the platform you’re using to get connected.

iOS

1. Open the MyFitnessPal app and tap on the More menu at the bottom right of your screen. If you don’t have a More menu in your app, tap your Profile Icon in the upper right corner of your screen instead. 
2. Next, tap on Apps & Devices, then select Google Health. 
3. On the next page, tap Connect. Once you select this, you will be taken to a page to re-sign into MyFitnessPal. Please use the same email/password you're using in the app.
