#1 - If you bought the product with Apple Health sync in mind and it doesn't do that for free, file a complaint with your OAG. It's false advertising.

#2 - If you have the apps today, you should warn other users with a review (which may or may not be 1 star).

#3 - If you haven't reviewed the product on Amazon, you should warn other users with a review (which may or may not be 1 star).

Nowadays, companies see the users of their platforms as captive audiences, and they try to extract as much money from them as possible.

This completely destroyed the resale value of this product as well. It's not a product we own, but it's their product we happen to use, and we're still subject to all kinds of ads and traps for subscriptions etc.

Honestly one of my new favourite uses for AI. Little things I wouldn't ordinarily complain about I can now engage the regulatory state on. (Currently pursuing LG under Wyoming's wiretapping statute.)

Though heading that off might be why this is only "starting from October 13th, 2026" and in respect of "any new Withings account."

Oh John, what have you done.

APPLE enshittifying its platform was not on my bingo card.
