Make Fitbit account/profile invisible and unsearchable

Option to make my account invisible for privacy and safety.

 

We've all had inappropriate friend requests on fitbit. No woman or adolescent should have to put up with that and I'm even more concerned now my 13.5 year old daughter has a Charge 3. As a middle aged male I've even had my share of invites that frankly I would rather not see.

 

Not all of us want to take advantage of the social features of fitbit, so for our safety and privacy could you please add the simple option to make our accounts fully invisible to others.

 

Please note that I have already locked down as much data as possible under Privacy Settings and closed off what I can under Notifications, but it still doesn't totally stop it.


Many thanks

I am also male and agree 100%. After my fitbit band broke for the second
time, I did not replace it, in large part because of the lack of privacy. I
am not on any social media and have no interest in being. I know of several
people who have gotten alternative fitness trackers specifically because of
the lack of privacy on fitbit. Not fixing this is a lousy business decision.

I just got a "Fitbit Community Digest" email that reminded me this discussion existed...time for an update!

I got a Garmin smartwatch in March of this year, and it was the best decision for me. Au revoir, Fitbit/Google.
