where is the all day sync / sync now

[Sandybid]

From the Fitbit app dashboard, tap or click the Account icon ( ) > Alta HR tile
> All-Day Sync.
You can also use the Sync Now option in the app at any time.

Hi @Sandybid without knowing which phone app you are asking about. On Android the option to disable all day sync has been removed. This is to give a more user friendly experience.

I use the fit bit from the dashboard when using my lap top.

@Rich_Laue Why was the option to disable all day sync removed? This is draining my battery faster.

[Rich_Laue]

@SunsetRunner as mentioned above, to give the user a smother more consistant experience. There is a lot of Fitbit bells and whistles that depend on the tracker syncing. 

As for using up the battery, that should not be the case. The app only tries a few times an hour. When the app tries, it only tried to contact once.

I came here looking for how to re-enable this (on Android). My Fitbit only syncs when I open the app never in the background. How can I change that?

I sync my Alta hr fitbit using my laptop, At least that's what I did until more recently.
