News & Status guides

This section reports news that changes how your device works, with official sources first. It covers software updates, service outages, recalls and safety notices, and platform changes such as the move from the Fitbit app to the Google Health app. Pages in this section cover Garmin Connect and Oura service status, recalls and safety notices for AirPods and Apple Watch, and what Google's changes mean for Fitbit owners.

Outage pages show you how to check the service's official status yourself. The recalls page lists where official notices are published, including the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. When a news outlet reports a problem, the page names the outlet. A problem that shows up only in forum posts never appears here as a known issue, and every page shows the date we last checked it.
