Removal of app features (2024)
In October 2024, users of the "Colgate Connect" (previously "hum") application received pop-up notifications regarding the deprecation of previously existing features, such as "GoPirate!" and "mind your speed".[2] In December, more features were removed such as "test your angles" and "whitening reminders".[3] Around this time, the "hum" brand of toothbrushes were quietly discontiuned, with existing users not being aware of where to get new brush heads.[4] Most of the app features did not rely on a constant connection to servers, which made the removal of the app's features more confusing to its users.[5]
