TL; DR
- As Google continues to integrate Fitbit into its health ecosystem, it has moved the Fitbit Community page to the new Google Health Community platform.
- The redesigned forum now includes sections for the Google Health app, Google Fitbit Air, and older Fitbit wearables like Sense, Versa, Inspire, and Ace.
- Old Fitbit forum discussions are no longer easily accessible, meaning longtime users may lose access to years of troubleshooting and support posts.

The redesigned forum now matches the look and feel of Google’s new community pages, including the recently updated Google Home and Nest Community forums. Along with the visual overhaul, Google has also reorganized discussion categories around the broader health ecosystem.
The new forum has dedicated sections for the topic Google Health appexisting Fitbit devices such as the recently launched Google Fitbit Air and Sense and Versa smartwatches, as well as the Inspire and Ace fitness trackers.
Google used to be he said will ensure that the old Fitbit Community will remain read-only, allowing users to view old discussions even if they are no longer able to post or interact.
However, it seems that this is no longer the case. The old Fitbit Community links included in the aforementioned update from Google now redirect directly to the new Google Health Community forum, and there doesn’t appear to be a simple way to view archived discussions.
This is a big change for longtime Fitbit users, many of whom may have relied on the old forums for troubleshooting tips, bug fixes, and device support posts.
With these discussions now seemingly out of reach, Google risks removing one of the most useful community-driven resources Fitbit users have created over the years.
