COVID-19 tab

[ErikVerm]

All of a sudden there is a covid19 knob in the right bottom of the app. A feature I’d like to rid of as soon as possible. I can’t turn on the tv, look on the internet and now even on my Fitbit there is covid19. I don’t want to be part of this hysteria. Please make this setting optional.

I agree! I DO NOT WANT TO SEE THIS TAB and wish I didn’t upgrade. It should be optional as not all of us want this in our faces 24-7.

I do not need fitbit to keep me safe and healthy that has always been the responsibility of the individual. My Ionic is on its way out now top of the screen is dying. When it failsI will never buy fitbit again due to covid being rammed down my throat!
