    Seems a waste of time and resources. We all know that google is going to kill this and merge it with google fit. So, start adding features to google fit, so when the time is come, it’s a suitable replacement. Please don’t do like usually, the replacement is not ready or has nowhere the same features

      I thought one of the terms of the Fitbit deal with the competition ombudsman was that they had to keep it separate from fit. What makes you think they’re going to join them?

      I thought it was the opposite? Google Fit is practically abandoned on WearOS in favor of the Pixel Watch’s Fitbit integration.

        ah right i forgot how google operates.

        First they abandon their perfectly good app.

        Then they focus their attention on the new shiny toy

        Finally, they kill the old one and rebrand the new with a new name that leave everyone confused.

        One week ago my grandma called me to ask “where’s that Duo icon that you told me for do video call to cousin?” I was blindsided as i uninstalled it years ago. It was renamed to google meet, but old google meet was killed. Or something like that.

      The replacement isn’t ready and for some reason we’re losing users. Let’s just kill the product line!
