iPhone caller displayed on fitbit

[Suthna]

First time this has ever happened.  A friend who does not have a fitbit just called me on my iPhone and his name scrolled on my fitbit.  How did that happen when there is nothing different in my setup.  He does not have a fitbit, nor does he use any health tracker application?

It's because the fitbit is paired with your phone.  It is notifying you that you have a call.  

these notifications from your phone is not related to fitbit or any health tracker device.  

If your tracker and phone are within 30 feet of each other, a call, text message, or
calendar event causes the tracker to vibrate and the notification to appear on the
tracker’s display. 

You can also turn off these alerts by going into your fitbit devices' settings - Notifications.  

Here is a link to the Alta HR manual for more info:
