Bluetooth usage for Fitbit app

Do I have to keep Bluetooth on all the time on my phone for my fitbit?

Hello and welcome to the forums @mmshoeme

You only need to turn on the bluetooth in order to sync. There are times when I have my bluetooth turned off and then I'll turn it back on later in the evening to sync the steps.

Keep on stepping!

Ok thank you!!! One more question... sorry I'm new to the fitbit and feel stupid lol. But in order to receive call notifications does my Bluetooth need to be on?

You're not stupid, you're just learning new things!

Yes, if you want call notifications, your bluetooth will need to be on.

Love it when I get a call that I get a buzz on the wrist and can see the name before I even pick up the phone. You will need to have the phone within about twenty feet of the device to get the call notification.

That stinks that I have to keep it on for that. But thank you!!!!
