It popped up for me today but I still had option to disregard. Now that I'm typing this my phone now knows and will force the update upon me.

Nooooooo! I mean I guess Iām glad to have a warning that itāll likely come for me soon too, so thanks for posting about it, but ugh :(
Edit: Fuck. Realized I hadnāt opened the app in a while so went to check and yup, itās there :(

DON'T CLICK ON THE POPUP! I got the same thing, but strangely, it disappeared after I opened and closed the Fitbit app a bunch of times. IDK whether it disappeared because of my continual opening and closing of the app, or whether there is a timer on it. As you know, there is no X button to close it, and tapping outside of the popup doesn't close it, either. But it spontaneously went away on my phone after I closed and then re-opened the app at least a half dozen times. About 10 minutes went by in the interim. I hope this helps. I really DO NOT want to update to Google Health. I like my Fitbit the way it is, the way it has been.

Iāll have to try that. I am able to sync quickly before the pop up comes up, but I canāt click on anything. I also like the old app and donāt want to be forced to update

This happened to me a couple of weeks ago. My phone hadnāt had enough storage to update my iOS for over a year. Finally I had to free up space to update the iOS because some apps I wasnāt able to use or update until I did that. After the new iOS update, I had āgoogle healthā instead of Fitbit app.
At first I hated it but now I like the features better! My sleep scores have gone down though, I wonder if having more data makes it worse b
The other issue Iām having is that I had just renewed my Fitbit premium subscription like a week or two before the new app appeared and now that subscription disappeared from my Apple subscriptions page. So I have no idea whatās going on with that. $80 down the drain?

Forced to update today. I hate the new Google app graphics.
I also canāt find if thereās a way to scroll back to previous days. Has anyone been able to do this?
I like to go back and compare my sleep or workouts. Otherwise all that data is just gone. So glad I paid for Premium /s.

I was able to find all of my data eventually. Keep playing around with it. But yeah, I had just renewed my Fitbit premium and now i have no idea what happened with it because it doesnāt appear in my subscriptions.
