Fitbit Update: 11/6/17
Hey, everyone! ![]()
Super happy to hear that you can finally see who has cheered you in Challenges again. Thanks for confirming with the release of the Fitbit for Android app version 2.61 you can see the picture of who has cheered you. If you're an Android user still experiencing this issue, please make sure to update the app.
Now that this has been resolved, I am going to close this thread. If any of you come across this issue again in the future, please make sure to open a new topic for discussion. Thanks to all of you for being patient while this was worked out. I'll see you all around here on the Forums!
Fitbit Update: 10/03/17
Hey, all! Please allow me to clear up some confusion. The cheers not showing up in challenges is only affecting the Android app. This is why if some of you also own iOS devices, you're still able to see cheers inside Challenges. I apologize for any inconvenience this may be causing. Our team is going to work on a fix, but I don't know when that fix will be released. I'll continue to post any updates here. Thanks so much for your patience!
Fitbit Update: 09/14/17
Hey, folks! Thanks for your patience while our team works on a fix. The recent Fitbit app update for Android did not contain a fix for this Challenges issue. Rest assured, once a fix has been identified and released I will make sure to announce it here in this thread.
Fitbit Update: 08/29/17
Thanks for catching this, everyone! I tested this on an Android device, with the Fitbit app version 2.56 and noticed the same result. I have escalated this to our team for review. I will provide an update once I have new information.

By George, I believe they have FINALLY fixed it!!! I updated app last night to version 2.61 (they had update for Ionic platform and the usual message about bug fixes). I did restart of my phone. I noticed a couple of interesting changes in community feed and that was it. This morning, I went to a weekly step challenge and cheered and holy moley I can see my little avatar/image now!!!!😭😁💖 I hope this is it and hope y'all get the update too!!!
Started today... Anybody that cheers anything on my challenges is showing a blank person. Their picture has disappeared , so I can't tell who cheered what... Just that someone did. Their picture still shows if they leave a comment.. Just not on the "cheer" part. Any suggestions? I logged off and back on and I reset my fitbit with no luck.

My emotions are escalating the longer it takes to debug this situation!
I am getting depressed and am now at the point where I am unwilling to accept any Warrior or Goal Day Challenge Invitations. Not sure if I'll be willing to accept any Hustle Invitations for next Week. Hopefully, 2 Days without getting slapped in the Face will cheer me up.
I have just gone through a Week without knowing who has cheered and who has not. Since there are a couple of FitFriends who have become very important to me, not knowing if they cheered me is damaging my ego.
And I'm stepping with someone who is somewhere on the Leaderboard but I am unable to see how I'm doing in relation to her.

I just noticed that a challenge that began as of 12am U.S. Central time on Sunday 09/03/17 which I initiated now shows my profile pic when I cheer someone. I went back to a weekend warrior which began yesterday 09/02/17 (in which I was already participating in) and the cheers in that challenge still have blank faces for any new cheers (as well as for a challenge which began 09/02/17 in a different timezone which I just joined 09/03/17 at 2:05 am) which is okay with me as long as any new challenges as of 09/03/07 continue to show the profile pic on a cheer. I hope everyone has success now with this issue. I have a Samsung S8+, Charge2 & the challenge I began was the NYC 10K group adventure (I did not have to restart my phone nor was there any systems downloads/updates needed). It's early in the morning so I do not see any other cheers yet in the marthon challenge. I don't usually see any cheers on the group adventures so I will probably have to start a daily showdown or goal day challenge (where I am more likely to see other people cheer) in order to see if other particiapant's profile pics appear on the cheers or not. Best wishes everyone. Hopefully this also resolves the syncing issue which some people have been experiencing with the last update.

Hi @Jenbem - well I just noticed today that the NYC 26.2 mile adventure which started today shows the profile pic on cheers. However, a Goal Day challenge I established today to begin tomorrow does not show the profile pic for cheers- blank again so my theory is blown out of the water. No rhyme or reason! This is nuts![]()
In the Goal Day, Hustle, and Warrior, I still see nothing but a whole bunch of Ghosts with the Cheers. In the Pohono Adventure Challenge, I am seeing the Profile Photo.
It was started yesterday.
Pohono Trail Challenge 090917
In general, I hate updates of any kind, not just FitBit, since they always change or mess up something. But if the next one fixes this Depressing, Discouraging, Highly Stressful NIGHTMARE, y'all will be able to hear my Cheers no matter where you are!!!
