Why Would You Delete a Fitbit Account?
A Fitbit keeps track of some sensitive health information, so if you no longer use your Fitbit, you have good reason to delete your account from the app or website. Here are some other reasons why you might want to :
- If you are planning on giving your Fitbit to someone else and don't want your information tied to the device.
- If the Fitbit doesn't work anymore and you want to recycle it or throw it away.
- If you are going to sell the Fitbit and want to wipe your information before passing it on.
How to Delete a Fitbit Account on Your Own
Deleting a Fitbit account on your own can be tricky. For one thing, there are two different ways to delete a Fitbit account, depending on whether you use the Fitbit app or the website dashboard.
Here are the instructions to delete a Fitbit account yourself for both methods, according to the Fitbit help site:
- For the app, sign in and navigate to the "Today" tab.
- Tap your profile picture and scroll down to where you see the "Manage Data" button.
- Click on "Manage Data" and when it opens, you should see an option that says Delete account.
- Tap that, and follow the prompts to fully erase your Fitbit account. You will be prompted several times to verify your personal details before managing to delete your account. You should receive a confirmation notice once your account is successfully deleted.
For the Fitbit website, the instructions are slightly different. Here's what you can try:
- Once you are logged in, click the gear icon by "Settings."
- Scroll down and click "Delete account." You will then be prompted to verify your personal information again before following the steps onscreen.
Please note that, according to the Fitbit website, it can take up to seven days before your Fitbit account will be fully deleted. After that time, your account is frozen and cannot be recovered. However, it can take up to 90 days before your account is fully deleted, so keep this in mind in case you were planning on selling your Fitbit or passing it along to a friend or relative.
