- Withings says the feature that automatically moves health records from Withings smartwatches and smart scales to other apps such as Apple Health or Google Health is tied to the paid Withings Plus subscription.
- According to the source, new Withings accounts created after 2026 October 13 need a monthly 9.95 or yearly 99.50 subscription for this feature. A one-month free trial tied to the device allows sync; when the trial ends, sync stops, but data already saved in the app is not deleted.
- Existing accounts created before 2026 October 12 can keep using free sync. This comes from an official comment left on the forum by a Withings support team member, and a media outlet reported it after checking the forum post.
- The feature is tied to the account, not the device, so the source explains that existing accounts can keep syncing without a subscription when a new watch or scale is registered to them.
O: Users who buy a new Withings scale and want to collect records in Apple Health can cut subscription costs by first checking whether they already have an existing account.
X: The claim that existing accounts stay free comes from a comment by a Withings support staff member on a forum. The full official terms and how long data is kept after a trial ends are not stated in the source.
