TL;DR Google has been spotted preparing to bring the redesigned Fitbit app experience to free-tier users via the Public Preview program.

The redesign includes updated Today, Fitness, Sleep, and Health tabs. Free users could soon be able to opt in and switch between the standard and redesigned versions of the app.

However, the AI-powered “Ask Coach” feature could remain exclusive to Premium subscribers.

With the launch of the Pixel Watch 4 in August 2025, Google announced that the Fitbit app is getting a redesign and a new AI-powered personal health coach feature. The redesigned Fitbit experience began rolling out to users in late October, but it was available only for Fitbit Premium subscribers and through the Public Preview program. It appears that Google is preparing to roll out the redesigned Fitbit experience to free users as well, by including them in the Public Preview program for this feature.

Fitbit v4.60 includes the following strings:
