Withings puts Apple Health auto-sync behind a subscription for new accounts
What happened
According to an October 16 report on the Hacker News front page, Withings changed its Apple Health auto-sync policy effective October 13, 2026: newly registered accounts must subscribe to Withings+ to use the feature, at $99.99 per year. The charge applies only to new accounts; accounts created on or before October 12 keep free auto-sync. The free-sync benefit is tied to the account, not the device, so the policy distinguishes by account creation date, not device purchase date.
