When is the Fitbit app going away?

[ravenfrank]

I have an original Versa that does exactly what I want it to. I don't need any extra bells and whistles. I don't jog, run, or visit a gym. I walk. I eat. I sleep. I like basic tracking like sleep, heart rate info, and steps.

My question to the forum is: when is Google taking over? Will I lose all of the functions I use on my watch? Why did Fitbit sell to Google?

Thanks

@ravenfrank   Google bought Fitbit in 2021.  It's a done deal.  The Fitbit app isn't going away.  Pixel Watch users use the Fitbit app for activity and health tracking, so I think this is why Google bought Fitbit.  Fitbit released the original Versa in 2018.  It probably won't receive any future software updates, unless there is a security update.  Unless there is a big surprise, you should be able to keep doing what you are doing.  Please keep in mind that rechargeable batteries have a lifespan.  Your battery is a bit old and it might give up,
