I have an S6 and don't use the message push future of BT because of the drain BT has on my battery. Any tips to improve this or do many do like me and not use this feature at all?

Hello @Omnitude welcome to the Fitbit Community!  if you use the Fitbit app, make sure All-Day Sync is turned off. All-Day Sync increases battery drain on both your tracker and mobile device. To find the setting, open the app and tap Account. Also Turn off the Always Connected setting. Similar to All-Day Sync, it can reduce battery life. As with any electronic device the battery will life will depend on the usage and I use the Blaze with message notifications and the battery of my phone and tracker last as expected, it drains faster when I use music control but that's expected. I would like to know what tracker are you wearing? 

 

I'll be around if you have any questions! 🙂
