Users of the OnePlus Watch 2 were recently startled by a warning message in the OHealth companion app, indicating an attempted access to sensitive Google account data that was blocked by Google. However, this alert was not a result of any action by OnePlus but rather a consequence of Google deprecating the Google Fit APIs.

OnePlus has promptly responded to this situation by releasing an update to the OHealth app, removing the Google Fit integration. Despite the initial alarm caused by the warning message, users can rest assured that it was not a security breach from OnePlus.

The OnePlus Watch 2, known for its attempt at being a quality smartwatch, has faced some challenges, including issues related to data sharing through Health Connect with platforms like Google Fit. The recent warning messages in the OHealth app raised concerns among users, but it seems to be a side effect of Google’s API deprecation.

Upon receiving the warning on their devices, users found that the OHealth app continued to function normally, indicating that the warning may have been related to Google Fit and Health Connect integrations within the app. While the warning may have caused initial panic, it appears to be a temporary issue that OnePlus is actively addressing.

Reddit user MSTRFLSH reached out to OnePlus support and was informed that the warning was a result of the Google Fit API deprecation. Google has officially announced the end of the Google Fit API in May 2024 and recommended transitioning to alternative solutions like Health Connect. OHealth has collaborated with Google to migrate to Health Connect, ensuring a seamless user experience.

For users who need to share data with Google Fit, the solution is to allow OHealth to write data to Health Connect in the app’s settings and enable Google Fit to read data from Health Connect. This migration aims to maintain data compatibility and functionality for OnePlus Watch 2 users.
