The company&#8217;s Home and Nest platforms are being overhauled in what Google describes as &#8220;a fundamental makeover.&#8221; Fitbit may be ready for an even bigger upgrade, as its current support community predates the Google acquisition. Big changes are coming, and in a statement to Android Authority, Google confirmed that everyone&#8217;s old posts, complaints, and tips will be gone forever after the switch.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"e_e e_L\">\n<p>A Google spokesperson told us that &#8220;no historical data will be available&#8221; after the switch to the new community support platform. \u201cTo join us, you will need to create a new account,\u201d he said. \u201cOnce we launch, the existing platform will be deleted along with all existing profile data as we make way for this new chapter.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"e_e e_pk e_ok\" data-container-type=\"content\">\n<div class=\"e_e e_L\">\n<p><strong>Don&#8217;t want to miss the best of <em>Android Authority<\/em>?<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"e_e e_em\"><picture class=\"e_im e_jm e_Jg\" style=\"padding-top:31.51%;aspect-ratio:676 \/ 213\"><source sizes=\"9.375rem\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_light@2x.png.webp 676w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_light@2x-64w-20h.png.webp 64w\" type=\"image\/webp\"\/><img class=\"e_Kg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"9.375rem\" title=\"Google Preferred Source Badge Lite@2x\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_light@2x.png 676w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_light@2x-64w-20h.png 64w\" alt=\"Google Preferred Source Badge Lite@2x\" src=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_light@2x.png\"\/><\/picture><picture class=\"e_im e_Jg\" style=\"padding-top:31.51%;aspect-ratio:676 \/ 213\"><source sizes=\"9.375rem\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x.png.webp 676w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x-64w-20h.png.webp 64w\" type=\"image\/webp\"\/><img class=\"e_Kg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"9.375rem\" title=\"Google Preferred Source Badge Dark@2x\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x.png 676w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x-64w-20h.png 64w\" alt=\"Google Preferred Source Badge Dark@2x\" src=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x.png\"\/><\/picture><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"e_e e_L\">\n<p>origin of google <a rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.googlenestcommunity.com\/t5\/Blog\/Google-Home-amp-Nest-Community-Changes-are-Coming-Soon\/ba-p\/802251\">blog post<\/a> Announcing the move it said that user post history would no longer be available in the new community. Still, it made us wonder whether thousands of old Home and Nest community posts will be moved forward for users&#8217; reference. Google cleared up Android Authority by saying &#8220;previous posts will no longer be available.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"e_e e_L\">\n<p>The same applies to the Fitbit community, which is going through similar changes.

There is a reorganized content layout for discussions, and a dedicated discussion space for Gemini for Home.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"e_e e_L\">\n<p>This all sounds exciting, but it&#8217;s a little strange that years of customer complaints, tips, and feedback will disappear when Google makes the switch.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-container-type=\"content\">\n<div class=\"e_Cc e_L\">\n<p>Thank you for being a part of our community.
