Where Does Fitbit Store Activity Data?
Fitbit keeps activities server-side with Takeout and dashboard exports as the file paths. The phone app holds private cache only.
Last updated
Fitbit is cloud storage wearing a phone interface. Activities, sleep and heart data accumulate server-side with the app as recorder and cache. Files arrive through exports: Takeout zips for the account, dashboard archives for legacy logins, per-workout TCX from the activity screen.
The Android package is confirmed for sandbox mappers, with nothing backup-worthy inside. Subfolder spellings in Takeout zips drift across versions, so browse rather than script. Reinstalls cost cache alone.
Where Fitbit stores this, by platform
/data/data/com.fitbit.FitbitMobile
Private app storage for the verified Google package holding cache with no documented activity files. Export through Takeout or the dashboard instead of file copies. Subfolder spellings inside zips vary.
/var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/<guid>/Documents
Sandboxed container with the same cloud archive model. Per-workout exports run from the activity screen. No Files.app path holds the underlying data.
Frequently asked questions
How do I download all my Fitbit data?
Use Takeout with Fitbit selected for the account zip, or the dashboard profile export for archives and selections. Per-workout GPS files export from the app activity screen as TCX. Exact Takeout subfolder spellings vary across reports, so browse the zip rather than scripting paths.
Where are Fitbit activities on my phone?
No user files live there to quote. The verified package names private storage holding cache with activities, sleep and GPS upstairs. Treat reinstalls as cache wipes and the cloud as the archive.
Is Fitbit data now Google data?
They merged under Google Health branding with Takeout still labeled Fitbit. Legacy logins export through the Fitbit dashboard instead. Either route ends in JSON and CSV archives plus per-activity GPS files.
