# Google Health (formerly Fitbit): How to Connect and Use with Runkeeper

**Migrating from Fitbit connection to Google Health connection**

*Note: Only users that have an existing connection between Fitbit and Runkeeper need to migrate. New users can follow the steps to* [*Connect to Google Health*](https://help.runkeeper.com/en/hc/connecting-with-fitbit#Connecting) *below.*

Users that previously had Runkeeper connected to the Fitbit app will need to re-connect to the Google Health app before September 30th, 2026 to continue synching data to Runkeeper. **Any activities saved to the Google Health app after September 30th will not sync to Runkeeper until you migrate your connection in Runkeeper.**

Follow the steps below to migrate:

- Go to your **Me** tab in the app
- Tap into your Settings (the gear icon)
- Select **Apps and Devices**
- Tap **Google Health**
- Allow the necessary permissions from your Google account to re-authenticate Runkeeper with Google Health.
- After completing the re-authorization, any unsynched activities will sync over to Runkeeper (sync timing dependent on the number of activities that have to be synched).
- You can continue using your Fitbit device with Runkeeper as per usual after you’ve re-connected.

**Connecting Google Health with Runkeeper**

You can establish a connection between your Google Health account on the Runkeeper mobile app. Once you’ve connected your Google Health account with Runkeeper, future activities will be synched automatically.

Here’s how to get started:

- Tap into your Settings (the gear icon)
- Select **Apps and Devices**
- Tap **Google Health**
- Authenticate Runkeeper with Google Health
- After authenticating, you'll be connected and brought back to the Apps and Devices page.
