The classic Fitbit app is finally dead

Older Fitbit app versions are now running into a mandatory update screen.

The classic Fitbit app is finally dead

Google is ending support for older versions of its Fitbit app, prompting users to migrate to the newer Google Health platform. Despite Google announcing the end-of-life for the old app back in July, some long-time users managed to keep using it by installing outdated versions. However, this workaround has now ceased as Google begins blocking access to the older apps with a mandatory update notice.

Users who refuse to update are finding themselves unable to proceed without downloading the latest version, which inevitably leads them to Google Health.
