The same thing happened to me, Fitbit don't seem to care. It is a shame, Fitbit used to be a customer focused company, the buy out by Google has changed that.
Having spoken to Fitbit on various channels they basically don't care. 2 year wait for early adopters before we can see our fitbit community again. Unbelievably appalling customer care.
Google have deliberately mislead me/everyone about switching to a Gmail account. They sent an email explaining all the benefits BUT not once did they explain you would lose all your friends and family until 2025 or until they also switched. I used to trust Google above all other tech companies. Not any more. Very poor misleading way to treat your
I think it would be very helpful if you could mix the Fitbit account and Google account in order for us to see our family and friends until everyone has to migrate to google in 2025
Agree there was no disclosure about losing friends in the transfer and I'm quite angry/disappointed. Now I'm waiting until 2025 to have friends again unless they migrate early? Along with eliminating the "step streak" notifications and breaking hourly goal metrics, you're chipping away at the motivational components that make fitbit worthwhile over just using my phone in my pocket as a pedometer.
I agree 100% it’s not even worth using the Fitbit anymore. I got one because my family has them and it was great motivation to try and beat them every week. Now that I can’t see them anymore the motivation is gone in
I lost my Fitbit friends when I switched to Google log in. Really disappointed. I’m in my 5th Fitbit device because they only last about 2 years I might just stop using Fitbit and just use my 3rd Apple Watch.
