Google Rolls Out Fitbit Air Update 20001.253.2, Targeting Workout Detection Bugs

3 articles · Updated · Android Authority · Jun 26

Summary

  • Google has started a gradual rollout of the Fitbit Air’s first post-launch firmware update, with build 20001.253.2 on iOS and 67.20001.253.2 on Android.
  • The release is framed as bug fixes and general performance improvements, but it appears aimed at one of the tracker’s biggest early complaints: unreliable automatic workout detection.
  • Google had said last month it was working to expand the range of exercises the Fitbit Air can detect automatically, so this update may reduce missed workouts and false logs.
  • Users will get the firmware through the Google Health app as availability widens over the next several days, alongside Google’s broader push to add wellness features across its Health platform.
