The Mi Fit application which provides useful support for Xiaomi’s ecosystem of smart bands and smartwatches is now called the Zepp Life app. This is as a result of the name change that was done by Xiaomi of all products with the Mi pseudonym to transit to another name.
The Zepp pseudonym itself is coming from Amazfit which has now changed its name to Zepp. It is an arm of the Xiaomi brand, specifically the Huami sub-brand. The Amazfit lineup of smartwatches and smart bands were sold as Xiaomi Amazfit, pointing to their Xiaomi origin.
The Mi Fit application which supports the smartwatches and smart bands under the Mi banner will now bear the Zepp Life title while still providing app support for the Mi products already in circulation. The app interface remains the same, while the app name and logo are the main things that have changed in the app. The Mi Fit app will change to the Zepp Life app after a single update. The latest Mi Fit application is version 5.6.0 and this will be upgraded to Zepp Life version 6.0.0. The changes are bound to be gradual until the full transition is achieved – albeit after a few more updates. The next Mi Band 7 series is expected to run the Zepp OS which is compatible with the app.
