Fitbit owners who like to sync their fitness tracker with a computer to enable offline listening of downloaded music without a monthly fee will soon need to change their approach.
As spotted by 9to5Google on Saturday, Fitbit will no longer allow users to sync their devices over a computer starting in October.
"On October 13, 2022, we're removing the option to sync your Fitbit device with the Fitbit Connect app on your computer," a Fitbit support page reads. "Download and use the Fitbit app on your phone to sync your device."
