Withings charges $100/year for new users to sync health data with Apple Health

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Withings is now requiring new users to subscribe to its Withings+ plan, which costs $100 annually, to sync their health data with third-party applications like Apple Health. This change, implemented after October 13, means that new customers must pay for the subscription to enable automatic data synchronization, while existing users are unaffected. Those who do not subscribe will have to manually export and upload their health data to other platforms. AI
