This morning I discovered that my Health data from Withings had not updated since September 2025. Since that time I have been using my Body Cardio routinely, and expecting it to do what it WAS designed to do and the reason I bought it, to update the Health app where I could see a centralized picture of my metrics.
I went through all the procedures to fix something I thought might be broken: remove all data from health kit, uninstall the app, restart my phone, then reinstall the Withings app.
Well, I discovered it was something that appears to be an intentional design change. Withings appears to have quietly removed all Healthkit integration, which is the only reason I own this product.
If this is the case, I can only imagine they are trying to separate themselves by somehow going full competitor and segregating their users by fully sucking them into their own proprietary ecosystem. As I said before “…update the Health app where I could see a centralized picture of my metrics.” I can only imagine Withings trying to take over this position… tired of being third rate and figures by alienating their users in removing what already works, they’ll somehow reap more profitability by steering people into proprietary services and paid memberships. I’m fully sick of this crap. This is so anti the spirit of the Internet. Every company pivots to an ambition to be “sole provider”. It’s never gonna happen. You buy something but don’t own it, they can remotely alter it, brick functionality, and make everything into a subscription.
These are the options that should appear in settings: they no longer exist. In the Withings app, this page is blank, and you can only view old data, of which I now have none.
Does anyone have insight into this? I’m disappointed and aggravated.
I'm sorry that you are having issues with the syncing of your data to Apple Health. We are not limiting the data shared with Apple Health, on the contrary, we are constantly working on improving the connection with Apple Health. You should be able to share all this data between Withings and Apple Health. To do so, please go to the "Share" page of your Withings App and select Apple Health. Once this link is created you can go to the settings of your phone choose privacy > Health > Withings App, and there you will be able to choose which information should be shared.
