  • Google is rolling out a firmware update to a “limited number” of Fitbit Sense and Fitbit Versa 3 devices.
  • These devices are said to be at risk of their batteries overheating.
  • Your device will factory reset if you don’t install the update within a few days after receiving it.

You may remember that out of the blue, Google surprised Pixel 4a owners earlier this month with a new update. The update was part of what the company called the Pixel 4a Battery Performance Program, which aimed to improve the phone’s battery life and stability. Now the tech giant is launching a similar program for Fitbit Sense and Fitbit Versa 3 devices.

In a support document, Google warns that a “limited number” of Fitbit Sense and Fitbit Versa 3 devices are at risk of their batteries overheating. These devices, which became available around the same time as the Pixel 4a, will need a firmware update to reduce this risk.
