For those wondering if they\u2019ll have to start over from scratch \u2014 nope! Google says steps already taken will count toward streaks. When you hit goals, like your daily step goal, celebration animations will also be added to the mobile app.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"my-9\">\n<p><figcaption class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup inline text-gray-13 dark:text-gray-e9 [&amp;&gt;a:hover]:text-black [&amp;&gt;a:hover]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;&gt;a:hover]:text-gray-e9 dark:[&amp;&gt;a:hover]:shadow-underline-gray-63 [&amp;&gt;a]:shadow-underline-gray-13 dark:[&amp;&gt;a]:shadow-underline-gray-63\"><em>The redesigned app had a mixed response. <\/em><\/figcaption><cite class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup inline not-italic text-gray-63 dark:text-gray-bd [&amp;&gt;a:hover]:text-gray-63 [&amp;&gt;a:hover]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;&gt;a:hover]:text-gray-bd dark:[&amp;&gt;a:hover]:shadow-underline-gray [&amp;&gt;a]:shadow-underline-gray-63 dark:[&amp;&gt;a]:text-gray-bd dark:[&amp;&gt;a]:shadow-underline-gray\">Image: Google<\/cite><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">Some users also complained that the redesign, which borrows from the Material You design language, made things harder to read. Google says it\u2019s going to make the Today tab more readable by reducing spacing and optimizing the layout. With the new app, Fitbit also made it easier for users to choose a focus and showcase specific metrics that tie into that. For example, if your goal is to stress less, you\u2019ll see stress and related metrics up top. However, you could only choose between presets. Now, Google is saying that if the presets don\u2019t suit your needs, you can choose and customize your own focus. Lastly, users will also be able to check the battery percentages of their devices in the Today tab. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">It\u2019s good to see Google is listening to its users here. Fitbit owners have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2023\/2\/24\/23612141\/fitbit-google-server-outage-challenges-wearables\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">been through the wringer<\/a> this past year as Google works on integrating Fitbit and its services into its ecosystem. Just last week, Fitbit servers had their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2023\/10\/11\/23913740\/fitbit-issues-app-down-problems-outage\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">second major outage<\/a> in under a year, just as new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/23910570\/google-pixel-watch-2-review-fitbit-safety-check-battery-stress-tracking\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google Pixel Watch 2<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2023\/9\/28\/23892317\/fitbit-charge-6-google-fitness-trackers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fitbit Charge 6<\/a> owners received their new devices. Ideally, those hiccups would\u2019ve never happened \u2014 but considering they have, listening to feedback is the least Google can do to show it cares about making this transition successful. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2023\/10\/17\/23921279\/fitbit-step-streak-app-battery-percentage\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cIn these first few weeks of trying out the new Fitbit app, you voiced key areas where you think we can improve the experience,\u201d Google wrote in a Fitbit support blog.
