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 really 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.
