    MY fitness “deleted pal” has to be resurrected. Email the owner corp as suggested. Unsubscribe to premium. Let them know. I depend on the private group n newsfeed n have noticed my lack of motivation n readiness to log etc since everyone is leaving to another app. These r the consequences of changing to something new vs using the newsfeed WE ALL USE! It is an intricate part of what makes mfp successful. Please restore

    Why did you remove such a great feature? This is how was interacted with friends to see their achievements and streaks!

    So the newsfeed still exists, but there are no more automatic updates. Do I see that correctly?
    I suppose that means we update it ourselves. Like sharing with our friends when we lost and being honest about it if/when we gained.
    I could post my daily short version of the food I eat. So altogether it's up to me if I keep it alive or if I let it go.
    Not sure if I am getting it all :-)

    Current situation is that for some people automatic updates have stopped, for others the newsfeed has already disappeared entirely. A phased rollout I'm guessing, depending on app version/location/who knows what other criteria.
    The newsfeed will disappear entirely in the end, for all of us.

    This morning my newsfeed button is gone on my iPhone app. It feels weird and sad

    @NormInv, what do you see in its place or as the Home Page now? Your profile?

    It’s just gone.
    Used to be 5 icons, with the newsfeed in the middle.
    Now there’s only four icons with no newsfeed.

    And the profile is just a mostly blank screen

    SAVE OUR NEWSFEED! This is awful! This app will completely fail without the newsfeed, what a dumb decision for the app developers to make! You’re cutting us off from our community! Post more ads if you need more revenue, but everyone will leave if they continue this

    @MargaretYakoda @NormInv, try logging in from a different device. Even better, try logging in from a web browser. I know you like the app and the web isn't as fancy but you might still see the News Feed a while longer.
    I’m poor. I don’t have a computer or another device. ☹️

    If you have a smart phone, use the browser there to try logging in. I gave up on the MFP app years ago because it was so glitchy, at least at the time, and I use Safari on my phone to log in. I pretty much just use the forums at this point, so not sure it would work for the dashboard, but I don't know why it wouldn't.

    Been trying Lose It this week, and it sorta sucks. I wish MFP would just keep the newsfeed instead.

    I agree....have you tried navigating Loseit on your PC? I fond it so much easier than the app...I am getting use to both.

    They took it away, if you can believe it, because it “wasn’t used”. What a bunch of horse crap. I’ve been using this app since its inception…used Daily Plate/Livestrong prior and moved over when they got rid of their news feed. Folks are going over to Lose It! app now.

    Very bad decision MFP. Take away the key feature that people really like. I have been using this app on and off since 2012. Seen a lot of changes but the newsfeed was the only thing that kept me here. As others have said there are better “ tracking “ apps. I am afraid that this is the beginning of the end.
