How do I connect my Fitbit account with another app?

Connect your Fitbit account to another app to share data between the app and your Fitbit account.

If you have trouble syncing your Fitbit account with another app, contact the developer of the app.

  1. Log in to your account on the app or website of a company that offers Fitbit integration, such as MyFitnessPal or Runkeeper.
  2. Find the option to connect another account, often under "Apps" or "Connect."
  3. Follow the on-screen instructions and log in to your Fitbit account when prompted.
  1. Visit strava.fitbit.com and click Connect.
  2. Log in to your Strava account.
  3. When prompted, authorize Strava to connect to your Fitbit account and follow the on-screen instructions.

Your Fitbit activities will appear on Strava, and runs and rides tracked with Strava will contribute to your all-day Fitbit stats. To export your Fitbit GPS data to Strava, see How do I export my Fitbit account data?

Note that the following types of activities won't sync to Strava:

  • Non-GPS activities
  • Previous activities that weren’t tracked by Strava
  • Duplicate activities (if you already recorded an activity with Strava, a Fitbit activity that occurs at the same time won't sync)

After you link your Fitbit and Strava accounts, you may see some differences in the way data is calculated for your exercises on each site. For more information, see Strava's Calorie Calculation article.

Connect your Fitbit account to a Weight Watchers account in the United States, Canada, or the United Kingdom. When your Fitbit data syncs with Weight Watchers, it's automatically converted to Weight Watchers activity points.

  1. In the Weight Watchers app, tap the profile icon in the top right then tap the gear icon.
  2. Tap Activity Settings then Device. Note that Weight Watchers only allows you to connect one device to your account. If you already have a device connected to your Weight Watchers account, tap Disconnect.
  3. Tap No devices connected then Fitbit.
  4. Tap Continue to connect your Fitbit account.

To connect your Fitbit account from the Weight Watchers website on your computer:

  1. Log in to your Weight Watchers account and click the profile icon in the top right then Settings.
  2. Scroll down to Activity and click Device. Note that Weight Watchers only allows you to connect one device to your account. If you already have a device connected to your Weight Watchers account, click Disconnect.
  3. Click Fitbit to connect your Fitbit account.
  1. Visit ifttt.com/fitbit and click Connect.
  2. Follow the on-screen instructions to link your Fitbit account with your IFTTT account and choose what Fitbit data IFTTT can access.

When your Fitbit and IFTTT accounts are linked, turn on Applets to track your fitness and sleep goals, build healthier habits, and sync your fitness data with other services.

  1. Visit fitbit.com/weight/withings and click Start the Withings Connection Wizard.
  2. Follow the on-screen instructions to link your accounts.

When your Fitbit and Withings accounts are linked, your daily Withings scale weight and body fat percentage measurements automatically show up in your Fitbit account.

  1. Tap the Today tab > your profile picture.
  2. Scroll down and tap Manage Data then Manage 3rd Party Apps.
  3. Log in to your Fitbit account.

Data shared with third-party developers is governed by the developers’ privacy policies and terms of service. Fitbit cannot remove information they store once you give them permission to access your Fitbit data. You can revoke access for an app at any time by visiting your app settings.

Apps created by third-party developers must follow the API Terms of Service. If you believe an app is not following these policies, please contact our support team at dev.fitbit.com/build/reference/web-api/help. When a third-party app requests permission to access or modify your Fitbit data, it lists the specific types of data it would like permission for. These permissions map to specific Fitbit API requests the app will be able to make on your behalf.

For information on developing your own third-party app, see dev.fitbit.com.
