Credit: GoogleTL;DRGoogle has started notifying Fitbit users that older versions of the app will no longer be supported.Support for app versions older than 5.0 on Android and iOS will stop on July 15, 2026.This deadline will end a commonly used workaround for avoiding the Google Health update.Near the beginning of May, Google finally began rolling out the much-anticipated mandatory update that transforms the Fitbit app into Google Health. Despite the redesign and fresh experience, not everyone is in love with the change. While Google Health is destined to fully replace the Fitbit app, some users are using a workaround to hang on to the old app. But time is officially ticking down for that workaround.To avoid the Google Health transition, some users have been sideloading older 4.x builds of the Fitbit app and turning off updates. While it’s a clever way to get around the mandatory update, that workaround won’t work for much longer. Google has started sending out notifications (via Gadgets & Wearables) to users who are still on the old Fitbit app.
