Technology giant Google has officially announced that its traditional health management app, Fitbit, has been officially rebranded as Google Health. With the release of new smart hardware, this classic app has undergone a complete overhaul. However, this major upgrade centered around artificial intelligence has caused widespread confusion and anger among existing users.

Many users who were accustomed to the original interface have expressed their dissatisfaction on social platforms, criticizing the new version for severely limiting user control. Some even publicly called on Google to revert to the old version.

Home screen filled with chat boxes causes annoyance

In the new application interface, the highly praised customizable card feature, which intuitively displayed various health data, has been significantly reduced. It has been replaced by a forced top AI health coach module. As soon as users open their phones, they are first greeted not by clear step counts, but by AI greetings and interaction suggestions.

This radical change has disturbed many users who simply wanted to track their data. One user openly complained that the new graphical interface looks childish, like it was designed by an eight-year-old. Additionally, because large areas of the screen are occupied by AI chat boxes, users are unable to view their full health data on the home screen.

Functions show extreme differences, still to be tested

Although social networks are filled with criticism of the new interface, some users who are enthusiastic about trying new technology have given positive feedback on the AI features. Some users reported that by interacting with the built-in AI coach, they could more intelligently fill in missing sleep logs due to missed entries, which is much more convenient than the previous tedious manual input.
