Google is taking action to address potential battery overheating risks in Fitbit’s popular devices, Fitbit Sense and Fitbit Versa 3, by offering a firmware update. The company acknowledges that a limited number of devices may overheat and poses a risk to users, prompting the rollout of the update to mitigate this issue. While the update aims to enhance safety, it may slightly reduce battery capacity. Affected users can check if their devices require the update and may be eligible for a $50 compensation. Those who need the update should install it promptly to improve the stability of their device’s battery performance. With Fitbit transitioning towards the Google Pixel line, users are advised to stay informed and consider alternative options.
