Public Preview gives you early access to the latest Fitbit app features before they're made broadly available. Participants can try new or updated features and give feedback so that Google can continue to make improvements before the features are released to everyone.
- In the Public Preview version, some existing features may work differently or be unavailable, at least temporarily. If you encounter a missing feature or experience difficulties, refer to the Current Features Status list or send feedback in the app.
- Preview features can also change over time and may not appear in the final release.
- You can switch between the publicly available Fitbit app and the preview version anytime, without leaving the Public Preview.

What happens when you switch between the Public Preview and Public versions of the app

- You can edit, delete, and export your data from the Fitbit app settings at any time.
- Your data will start being processed again if you go back to the Public Preview, and you won't need to give permission again.
- Some of your data may only be viewable in one version of the app and not the other.
Important: If you leave the Public Preview version, your data will stop being processed immediately. Any new information collected while you’re in the Public Preview won’t be deleted automatically and will continue to be stored. You can manage or delete your data using the app's privacy settings.
If you leave Public Preview, you lose access to all Public Preview features in the Fitbit app. Space in Public Preview is limited, but you may be able to rejoin later if there is space and you meet the eligibility requirements.
