Fitbit has announced that it will be removing three of its features from its app on March 27, citing low user activity as the reason for their removal. The features to be removed are Challenges, Adventures and Open Groups, which were designed to provide users with a way to compete against each other, take virtual walks around the world, and discuss their favorite topics respectively.
Challenges
Fitbit Challenges was a popular feature that allowed users to compete against each other to see who could complete a challenge first. It was a fun way for users to stay motivated and keep track of their progress. However, Fitbit has noticed a decline in user activity and has decided to remove this feature from its app.
Adventures
Fitbit Adventures allowed users to take a virtual walk around the world. It was a great way for users to explore new places and stay active at the same time. However, the feature was not as popular as Fitbit had hoped and will be removed from the app.
Open Groups
Fitbit Open Groups allowed users to discuss their favorite topics with other users. Some groups had millions of members, making it a great way to connect with other like-minded individuals. However, Fitbit has noticed a decline in user activity and has decided to remove this feature from its app.
What Does This Mean for Fitbit Users?
Fitbit users will still be able to create closed private groups after March 27. However, they will no longer be able to participate in Challenges or take part in Adventures. Fitbit has assured users that they will continue to provide new and exciting features in the future.
Fitbit Studio
Fitbit has also announced that it will be shutting down its Fitbit Studio tool, which allowed third-party app developers to create apps and watch faces for the Fitbit platform. However, developers will still be able to create watch faces and apps using the command-line SDK.
