Fitbit app on Windows 10

Activity trackers generally don’t need a mobile app to work. They will work fine on their own as long as you keep them charged. The apps are there because the tracker can’t store much information and most of them can’t connect to the internet directly.

To do all of this, they rely on Bluetooth and mobile apps. With Fitbit, you can bypass the mobile app in favor of a desktop app if you’re using Windows 10.

conclusion

When you connect your Fitbit for the first time, Windows 10 may need to install drivers for it. Until those drivers have been installed, the Fitbit app may not detect your device. If that’s the case, disconnect and reconnect the device after the drivers have been installed. The Fitbit app for Windows 10 is compatible with a large number of devices; however, if you own an older device or a device that is no longer sold, the app may not support it.
