Fitbit is widening access to its personal health coach, which is currently in Public Preview. The feature is rolling out to free and Premium users on Android and iOS across 37 countries, including India, and will reach more users over the coming weeks.

The Preview version supports 27 languages. Earlier updates also pointed to a broader expansion up to 32 languages, covering options like Hindi, French, German, Japanese, Korean, and Spanish, so users can interact with the coach in a language they are comfortable with.

Inside the Fitbit app, the coach uses existing health data to offer insights and suggestions. It pulls in metrics such as steps, distance, calories burned, sleep, weight, and body fat. There is also support for third party data through Health Connect, which lets users bring in information from other apps and devices. The app combines data from different sources and shows where it is coming from, with filters available above each graph.

Fitbit has also added VO2Max, earlier known as Cardio Fitness Score, to the Preview. This brings cardio fitness tracking into the coaching experience.

Since this is still a Preview, several features are missing. Health tracking does not yet include blood glucose logging, body temperature tracking, or manual edits to sleep data. On the fitness side, advanced running metrics are not available for Pixel Watch 3 and Pixel Watch 4 users.

Social features are also not part of the Preview. This includes friends, groups, leaderboards, messages, badges, and workout sharing. Other missing features include exporting TCX files, syncing with Aria Air, and switching to a children’s view.

Some Health Connect data types are also not supported yet, including workout sessions, routes, heart rate variability, breathing rate, resting heart rate, SpO2, and temperature. Fitbit says these will be added later.
