Install fitbit app on Huawei P40 pro

Fitbit is a world-famous company known for manufacturing fitness smartwatches. It has around 28 million active users, and the company has sold more than 100 million devices. Recently, we have seen some compatibility issues between Huawei P40 Pro and Fitbit devices. The management of Fitbit devices is done via its application on iOS or Android devices. Since the sanctions on Huawei, Google, being an American company, cannot release its apps and services on Huawei devices. This guide will discuss a workaround that allows us to install the Fitbit app on the Huawei P40 Pro. So you can easily manage your Fitbit smartwatches using your Huawei phone.

Huawei P40 Pro and standard P40 have all it takes to be the best smartphone of 2020, loaded with cutting-edge technology and features. It competes with Galaxy S20 and iPhone 11 Pro Max in all aspects: camera result, built quality, and speed. If not for the absence of Google apps and services in Android OS. It would stand out. The sanctions and unavailability of Google services have proven to be a big blow to Huawei’s market share. The full functionality of an Android phone without Google Apps is unimaginable.

Guide to Install Fitbit App on Huawei P40 Pro running on EMUI 10.1:

I figured out how to run the Fitbit App on Huawei P40 during my research. I found three methods that can be helpful. But, of course, each person and their phone might be in different circumstances, so any process can work for them. During my research, I also learned that the Fitbit app depends on Google Location Services for proper functioning. That’s why, even if you install it, it won’t run unless you have Google Play services or GMS packages on your phone.

Install Fitbit APK on Huawei P40 Pro.

The latest version of Fitbit doesn’t seem to work on Huawei P40. The only performances that the Fitbit community has approved and commended that work are FitBit 3.24 and FitBitMobile 2.81. So, I would first recommend you download and install the Fitbit 3.24 version. If that doesn’t work, go for 2.81.

Download:

Once you have downloaded the APK file on your Huawei Phone, you must change the settings to install apps from external sources. In Huawei P40 Pro, you have to select the app you want to allow to download and install external apps. In most instances, it’s the Huawei browser, file manager, or Chrome browser.

  1. Go to your phone’s Settings and tap on “Security.” The security menu enables “Download from Unknown Sources” and DISABLE “Check App for External Sources.”
  2. If you can’t find these options, search for “Install” in the search bar and open the installation settings from external sources. Then, allow Google Chrome or whichever browser you have used to download the Fitbit APK on your phone to “Install Apps from External Sources.”
  3. The next step is to locate the Fitbit APK in your downloads and install it on your Huawei P40 Pro.

Once the Fitbit APK is installed on your Huawei P40. You can pair it with a Fitbit device for your fitness tracking.

If the above installation process didn’t work for you, and once you open the app on your Huawei Phone, it closes down with a white screen, you need to install the GMS packages on your phone using the guide below.

Install GMS to run the Fitbit App on Huawei P40:

If the Fitbit app depends on Google Play services like Google Maps API or Location services, it might not function appropriately without GMS packages.

You can install GMS packages manually using this detailed guide. Huawei users can also use this guide to install any Google Apps or any other app dependent upon Google Services to function correctly.

Install Fitbit from the Amazon App Store.

Suppose you don’t have a Google Play Store and cannot install the app from APK using the guide above. You can also get the Fitbit app on the Huawei P40 from the Amazon App Store for Android.

I hope this guide helped you to install Fitbit on the Huawei P40 Pro. If you have any questions or confusion, please comment below. In addition, you can reach out to me on Facebook or other social media networks for urgent queries.
