Please remove the COVID 19 icon on my app and anywhere else you have added it for my watch. Covid is into every media outlet and I’m completely sick of hearing about it. When I exercise, I want a break from it.

I agree with everything she has said. Also, who authorized you to put this tracker on my phone?

While Covid 19 is a legitimate health threat, the information about it on the app is not useful, as this information has already been communicated in a variety of ways. The fact that the app randomly displays the information at least once a day without my intervention seems like a bug.

Get rid of the corona and menstrual garbage. Going out for a run has nothing to do with either of those things.

Hi @QUEEN_SHORTY, thanks for explaining why you don't want to see a Covid19 tab. Thanks for sharing your feedback. I've moved it into a similar request.  A lot of users are asking for this option, I hope we receive updates soon.

Yes, please get rid of COVID-19 tab, it is horrible to visit the app where you expect to relax or workout and see that the f** covid is a Tab.

 

I hate to open Fitbit app just for that reason.

 

Fitbit is not the place I want to see a pandemic option, focus on what you do and leave WHO that pandemic job.

Please don't wait for "If this suggestion receives votes from other customers and gains popularity, ", I hate the Covid Tab long before I realized there were this Feature Suggestions to vote. There are for sure a lot of User that hate it too but don't know about this to vote.

Get rid of this stupid covid button. Why not have an aids button or an alcoholism button as well?

Yes!!! I’d like to see it removed. We’ve all spent too much of our short lives with it rammed in our face. I don’t need a ******* app to remind me to wash my hands!!! The sooner it’s removed the better. I don’t want to see it!!!

I just got a Fitbit and I am literally considering taking it back because of the COVID-19 option. So annoying.

It’s my 1st time in a while having a Fitbit. It is definitely my favourite smart watch so I was super excited when my hubby gave it to me, only to turn it on and find the Covid app. Excitement turned to disappointment. Please remove it so we can enjoy our products for the purpose they were bought for

You people aren't nurses or doctors and you don't run a hospital. Which means you literally do not have the right to put the covid tab in the app. You are not health care providers and my health is literally none of your business. I'm not your wife/daughter/cousin or wtf ever. So remove the f-in stupid worthless tab.
