To uninstall the Fitbit app, the steps depend on whether you are using an Android, iPhone, iPad, or Windows computer. Removing the app from your device does not delete your Fitbit account, health data, or cancel any subscriptions.
Before you uninstall the Fitbit app
Uninstalling the Fitbit app only removes the software from your phone or computer. It does not delete your Fitbit account, your health data stored in the cloud, any apps installed on your Fitbit watch, or cancel any paid subscriptions. Uninstalling the Fitbit app from your phone does not remove apps installed directly on your Fitbit smartwatch or tracker. If you want to permanently delete your account and all associated data, you must do that separately inside the app or on the Fitbit website. If you are doing Fitbit troubleshooting, a fresh install of the app can often resolve sync or performance issues without affecting your stored data.
How to uninstall the Fitbit app on Android
- Open the Settings app on your Android device.
- Tap "Apps" or "Application Manager."
- Find and tap "Fitbit" in the list of installed apps.
- Tap "Uninstall."
- Confirm the uninstallation when prompted. You may be prompted to enter your device's passcode or provide fingerprint/face recognition to confirm the uninstallation.
How to uninstall the Fitbit app on iPhone or iPad
- Locate the Fitbit app icon on your home screen or in the App Library.
- Press and hold the Fitbit app icon until a menu appears.
- Tap "Remove App."
Alternatively, press and hold the icon until all icons shake and an 'x' appears, then tap the 'x'.
How to uninstall the Fitbit app on Windows
- Open the Control Panel on your Windows computer.
- Click "Programs" and then "Programs and Features."
- Select "Fitbit Desktop Suite" or "Fitbit Connect" from the list.
- Click "Uninstall" and follow the on-screen prompts.
What to do after uninstalling
If you want to use Fitbit again, simply reinstall the app from your device's app store and log in to your account. Your data will sync back. To permanently delete your Fitbit account, go to the app or the Fitbit website and follow the account deletion process. If you signed in with a Google Account, your data will be permanently erased after 30 days. To remove apps from your Fitbit watch itself, open the Google Health app (formerly Fitbit app) on your phone, tap "Connections," select your device, tap the "Apps" tab, find the app you want to remove, and tap "Uninstall." Note that some pre-installed apps like "Today" and "Settings" cannot be removed.
