Option to disable "Fitbit Today Insights"

[AKinMA]

I find the tips of the "Fitbit Today Insights" to be irritating in the extreme, and was sorely disappointed to find on the support boards that there is, in fact, no way to turn this feature off. I have been a happy Fitbit user for literally years and look at the app several times a day. I detest the "Fitbit Today Insights" feature so much. I use this device as a tool and have no interest in algorithmic suggestions from this company.

Please add an option to remove the Fitbit Today Insights from popping up. I do not want any of them and I find it frustrating to have to click through them almost every time I open the app.

The first time I sync each day, an obnoxious popup with trite and useless "tips" comes up. Sometimes it's also pushing fitbit plus or other things I don't want to be forced to view. My Charge 3 (probably my 5th fitbi) is reaching the end of its life fast, and unless this option does not appear before it does I will not be purchasing another.

The nagging Nutrition Tips/SleepTips/ pop up at top of screen when you open up the app is universally loathed. Absolutely worthless, am sick of having to click the X to close it out everytime I open the app. Look at your support boards and how many users have tried in vain to remove the nagging reminders. Give us control.

Please add an item in notifications section to allow users to disable the motivational tips that pop up when the app opens. Many are repetitive and they become annoying. Most people don’t like pop-ups, I searched the community page to try to disable them and saw it was not possible. Hoping more suggestions will increase its priority. Thanks!

I’m tired of the insights popping up with no way to turn them off. It gets in my way EVERY MORNING. I thumbs down them all and they keep coming back, with the thumbs down still highlighted. I never read them, they just piss me off daily.

I’m a shift worker. Constant reminders to go to bed at a regular time to optimize sleep are less than useful. I would love to be able to turn specific suggestions off, or configure them to be more relevant to my lifestyle.

I know this was posted over two years ago. For the love of fitness, please give us an option to disable these daily insights or at least change the frequency. Or consider relocating the tips somewhere more pointed and relevant.

The messages every day or so at the top of the app with a thumbs up and thumb down are repetitive and distracting. What is the point of the thumb down/up? They appear to do nothing. They distract from the utility of the app and should be able to be turned off in settings.

Please add a way to remove the “tips” you get when you open the app. As someone recovering from disordered eating I don’t want to see cute ideas for how to lose weight when I open the app

[Washapples]

Please add option to completely disable the insights card showing on the top of my Fitbit app!

This issue has been raised many times for many years. Please give us the option to disable "insights" that pop up in the app. We are mostly adults and would appreciate being treated as such.
