Re: What can't you do on Android WITHOUT a Google Account set up in the OS?

I had a Fitbit 2, and now a Fitbit Luxe.  Doesn't upload anything to any
account.  I never bought any premium services.  I don't need all those
extras for how I use it.  The only "extra" I enabled was to pair the
Fitbit to my smart phone via Bluetooth to transfer data from device to
Android app.  Don't need an online account for that.

    I don't know what a "Fitbit 2" is, probably a "Fitbit <something> 2"
where "<something>" is the relevant part.
    Anyway, I always needed a Fitbit account for our Fitbits (Alta HR,
Charge 4, Charge 5 and Charge 6). Without an account, the Fitbit won't
sync, also not to the Fitbit app on the phone. And to sync, it needs an
Internet connection. Stupid design, but that's the way it is.
    So, on the phone, do you use the Fitbit app or another app, if so
which one?

    I think my <insert_loved_one> has a Fitbit Luxe (on an iPhone). I've
to ask her what she needs to sync. I know they have a Fitbit Family
account together with her <insert_smaller_loved_one>.
