Delete preloaded apps

[battlebash]

Is there a way to delete the apps that come preloaded onto the Versa? I don't use Deezer or Strata and was wondering if there was a way to remove them?

[Lilly04 · Accepted solution]

When you go to your versa in the app. Click on apps. Then you can select any app en click on remove 😉

oh mos def... right in the apps section on the mobile app. 

Under "My apps" select each of them... if there's an "uninstall" then you can freely delete it 🙂

@Lilly04 doesn't work for me, example when I try and delete Starbucks, it just allows to add the card number of for Starbucks

I havent found way to delete the pre-installed bloatware apps from the Versa.

You  can delete any app but settings, excercise, alarms and today. @Lilly04, that's not how to delete apps. You click on your Versa pic<then apps<click on the app you want to delete NOT THE GEAR, and there a button that says remove. (Except of course the ones I mentioned above)

@sarah_lin8  You can delete any app? How do you delete any of the pre-installed apps? Say, Starbucks for instance.

[sarah_lin8]

@Ynott When you open the Fitbit app, click on your versa picture in the top left corner. Then click on apps. Scroll down to Starbucks, click on it-don't click on the gear, it will bring you to set up your card-click on Starbucks. Scroll down a bit and there's a red Remove sign. Click on it and it should be removed. Hope that helps!

I tried uninstalling the Deezer and Strava, but no option to uninstall. So annoying because I don't use those either!

[swim4lifekac]

I was able to uninstall both Deezer ands Strava.

[thatsobee]

Please tell me how as mine does not even show option to uninstall. The only one that I was able to uninstall was Pandora.

[Ynott]

Yes, you can delete those apps. Open the Fitbit app on your phone. Click on the Versa icon on the top right corner. Then click on Apps. Then click on ALL APPS, not MY APPS. Find the app you want to uninstall. Click on it and you should see an uninstall button. Finally go back and sync your Versa to remove the apps from your watch.

Hope this helps.

Thank you so much! I appreciate the instructions. 🤗 Opps, I was trying to do it through My Apps vs. All Apps. Huge difference in results.

I cannot uninstall the Weather app using these steps.  There simply is no remove or uninstall button.  Is anyone else having difficulty with this app?

[raylieekayy]

this works. as shesaid. clink on all, NOT gear icon.

[Connied1107]

I have no uninstall on the weather app.  This code popping up is driving me crazy!  

[Cupentine]

Same here - I uninstalled on the dashboard and so now they don't show in my apps list but they are still on my watch... but maybe my watch is a lemon because it also won't connect to sync despite all my settings toggled corrrectly, it won't record my sleep or pick up my heart rate. I was really excited to get this watch but so far all the features I was looking forward to our not working.

Thanks! Still sorting through settings. After trying the Apple 3 and Samsung GEar S3, things get a little confusing lol..." which one of these did this? " 

Also, is it just my iPhone that goes blank...as in after I remove the app, then go back to the app list...there are none there. It shows the little gear setting icons on the right, but I need to go back again, then reselect the next one. Then it lets me select another. 

Dear FitBit...could you please add an option to select multiple apps at once? you know, little select circles beside all of them? It would be nice. 🙂
