Google Disables Workaround for Retired Fitbit App
Google has disabled a workaround that allowed users to sideload older versions of the Fitbit app after it was retired in favor of Google Health. Previously, some users avoided switching by using outdated builds; however, Android Authority reports that new prompts now force an update, effectively making old versions unusable. This change affects users who were reluctant or unable to transition from Fitbit to Google Health's ecosystem. The prompt cannot be dismissed without updating the app, which redirects them to use Google’s health platform instead.
