Fitbit will end support for PC syncing this fall
, the company said it would remove the option for users to sync their trackers over its Connect app on October 13th, 2022. After that date, the only way to transfer your data off your Fitbit wearable will be through the Fitbit mobile app. While the shutdown is unlikely to affect many people, it does mean there will be one less way to transfer your favorite songs to your wearable for offline playback.
“On October 13, 2022, we're removing the option to transfer playlists to your Fitbit watch through your computer,” the company says on a. “You can continue to play personal music stored on your watch and transfer music to your watch with the Deezer app and Pandora app.” In other words, if you use your Fitbit tracker or smartwatch for listening to music, you’ll need to depend on two music services that aren’t the most popular options out there. With theset to offer deep Fitbit integration, that probably won’t be much of an issue with new Fitbit wearables, but it is something current users will have to consider.
