It’s nice FitBit is expanding the app but not EVERYONE needs or wants to use the new family or female tracking features. Having them there unused & unnecessary is annoying. Give us the ability to shut them off in preferences. Thank you.

Hi @pghkatrina. Welcome to the forums! I understand what you’re saying but please let me know

  • Do you want them removed from the clock face? 
  • Or do you want to hide them from the app itself?

Also, which Fitbit device so you have?

The app. I have an Alta HR so they don't even show on the device thankfully. But I have no need for them on the app. I think a lot of users aren't going to need the family feature, so make it that people can turn in on/off if desired. And tracking my feminine cycle is not something I bought a fitbit for. 👎🏻 Put them in settings that these features can be 'activated' if desired.

Hello again, @pghkatrina. Seeing as how these are new features, having them show up as they do may be temporary. However, to possibly make it happen sooner, go to the Feature Suggestion forum

  • Search to see if others are requesting the same thing. If they are, vote to add your support.
  • If no one has posted this yet, post it yourself so others may vote for it.

@pghkatrina Thanks for sharing your feedback on female health tracking and fitbit family. We created female health tracking as an optional feature for people who want to use it, to remove the tile from your app dashboard, press ‘Edit’ at the bottom of your dashboard and click the ‘X’ icon on the tile.

 

There's not a way to remove the family feature that I know of now, but you should only see it under your account settings. @SunsetRunner's suggestion to visit the feature suggestion board is an excellent way to get your opinion heard. Our team regularly reviews and implements requests posted on this board.

I will post it on there, but I have to say I have my doubts about the feature suggestion board seeing as myself and other friends have proposed a Chronic Illness community be added to the app, as they effect our ability to be physically active, for some time and it still hasn't added. 👎🏻
