Withings, the maker of smart scales, announced that customers creating an account on October 13, 2026 or later must subscribe to Withings+ for automatic syncing with third-party apps like Apple Health. In the U.S., Withings+ costs $99.50 per year. Users who created accounts on or before October 12, 2026 retain free syncing. Since the change is tied to account creation date, existing customers buying new devices remain unaffected.
The policy affects only new account holders. Withings+ grants access to advanced health insights and automatic data transfer to apps such as Apple's Health app on iPhone. The company did not specify which third-party apps beyond Apple Health require the subscription.
