Withings now requires a paid subscription for new users to sync health data with third-party apps. MacRumors reported on a discussion in Withings' support forums indicating that accounts created on or after October 13, 2026, must subscribe to Withings Plus to use the automatic sync feature.
The subscription costs $9.95 per month or $99.50 per year. This change affects users who want to access data from Withings fitness-tracking smartwatches or smart scales through platforms like Apple Health or Google Health. Withings devices include a free one-month trial that permits this data synchronization, after which the paid requirement applies.
