Make the Wallet app removable on all Fitbit devices

[ramirolb]

I don’t use the wallet app or fitbit pay and would like to be able to remove it like all the other apps.

I agree! I would at least like to be able to turn it off!

[Gizmonana]

Yes!!!!

Years later, still stuck with a useless thing to scroll past when using my fitbit. 

I'm guessing this is making Google some commissions so it'll be here to stay...

I just bought a Charge 6. It's my fourth FitBit device overall. The quick settings menu forces you to go through google wallet first. If I had known this was not something that could be removed, I would not have bought this device. When I tried to use the chat HELP function on the website, it took me to pages that never loaded. I tried on multiple devices and different internet connections. I will be returning this device and will not use FitBit going forward.

I don’t, and will never, connect Google wallet to my fitbit. This is the first thing that shows in my watch, as well as constant reminders to set it up. It would be great to remove this so I don't see it.

Not everyone wants to use the wallet application. And yet, this application is non removable from my watch. To make matters worse, it is the first application that appears when scrolling to other USEFUL applications. This application should be optional, and able to be removed. Not a feature on my tracker (useful for TRACKING, not PAYING).

I should be able to remove this from my Charge 6 and ANY other device.  I find it very intrusive.

I understand you want to be able to track my purchases so you can sell that data to advertisers but it's not happening. Extra scummy to make it both not removable and one of the two nearest screens to the clockface so now I get to be annoyed by it every time I want to change the settings.

we've been asking for this for 4 years now. it's extremely frustrating that there's no update after all this time for a relatively simple fix, especially considering how intrusive and inconvenient it is. any update?

Well, the wallet app has been ....removed???... on my Charge 5!!!

And there is a new THING just above the clock face where the wallet use to be- The GOOGLE WALL

And what do you know, it's asking me to add a card, like the wallet did!!

What a crappy company. Once my charge 5 is gone, FITBIT is gone!!!

I want the Google wallet button/block/app/tile removed from the Fitbits. I upgraded to a charge 6 and this tile will NOT GO AWAY. I never want any of my banking information paired with a watch that can either die (just like my last one of less than 6 months did) or stolen. This tile should be able to be removed/uninstalled.
