Device Settings is where Withings users land when something stops working. Despite the app's overall polish, internal CS data showed that most support tickets weren't about hardware failures, they were about users not understanding what their device was doing. Settings felt like a dead-end: technical states, no feedback after actions, no clear next step. Trust dropped fast every time a device failed to sync.

​

The redesign reframed Settings from a configuration screen into a recovery surface. Three moves anchored the work: making device state explicit so users could answer "is this working?" at a glance, designing for recovery rather than configuration, and embedding Zendesk support directly into the moment of friction instead of redirecting users out of the app. Device Settings shifted from a place users avoided to a place that resolved their issue and CS ticket volume around device misunderstanding dropped.
