How do I remove YouTube music from my Versa 4?

How can I remove YouTube music from my versa 4.  I won’t use it.

Even worse, when I am engaged in an activity like running if I swipe to see a stat, the YouTube music app sometimes self starts on its own.

@Altoid4ever   You can uninstall the YouTube music app.  Tap on your device/battery icon > Versa 4 tile > Gallery > scroll to find YouTube Music and uninstall it.  I removed it from my Sense 2 for exactly the same reason.

Thank you,  that did it.

While I was there I deleted others that I don’t use.

Appreciate it

Thank you so much! I hated seeing that icon in the middle of a workout. Now if only the Fitbit app and the WW app would again sync, but that's another problem.

I tried to follow the steps to remove YouTube music from my versa 4. It failed because the uninstall option is no longer there. I called Fitbit tech-support and they told me Google has removed the ability to remove YouTube Music as of the September update. This will apply to all devices going forward. I voiced my displeasure over this announcement to Google.

Hello @JesseWilson and welcome to the Community.  That’s really disappointing.  I removed mine because it kept showing up just like @Altoid4ever described.

Really disappointing.
