How To Remove Apps From Fitbit Versa

Most Fitbit smartwatches allow you to install and store up to 39 apps on your watch at any one time. That's a lot of apps!

Over time, you will likely discover that you only use a small fraction of your Fitbit's apps. So, it's a good idea to remove the ones you don't use or no longer use.

Unused apps take up a lot of your Fitbit's space and can also slow down performance. A good housecleaning of your Fitbit helps to keep it in top shape.

While you cannot remove some apps like Today, Exercise, Clocks, Weather, Alarms, or Settings, you can delete quite a few of them, including some preloaded ones!

So let's learn how.

How to manage apps on Fitbit Sense, Fitbit Versa series, or Ionic smartwatch

Once you finish removing any unwanted apps, it's an excellent time to rearrange how apps appear on your Fitbit's app screens, as well as update any apps.

How to rearrange apps on your Fitbit's screen

Due to limited screen real estate on your Fitbit, there are 4 total apps on each of your app screens. Swipe right and left to see how you currently arrange your apps.

If you want to change the way apps appear on the screen, do the following:

1. On your Fitbit, locate an app you wish to move.
2. Press and hold the app until it increases slightly in size and all the apps' names disappear. You may also feel a slight vibration.
3. Drag the app to your preferred location on the current screen, or drag and swipe to move it to a different screen.
4. Release and drop the app in its new position.
   1. Your other apps automatically adjust their positions.
5. Repeat for any additional apps you wish to rearrange.

How to manually update apps on your Fitbit

Fitbit automatically updates its apps over WiFi when you plug it into its charger, and it connects to your WiFi network.

But you can also manually update apps. Here's how.

1. Tap the Today tab  > your profile picture or icon > your device's image with your watch nearby in the Fitbit app.
2. TapApps.
3. Tap the pinkUpdate button next to the app's name to update the app.
3. Repeat for any other apps with updates.
4. Finally, sync your Fitbit with the Fitbit app.
   1. This final step is critical in updating your apps from the Fitbit device.
   2. Keep your Fitbit on its charger until the Fitbit screens show your updates.

This process updates apps on your Fitbit. It does not update the Fitbit app!
