I’m trying to pair my Charge 4 (hand me down from my daughter) to my LG phone, but it keeps showing “download or update fitbit app” on my Fitbit when I try. My daughter has restarted my phone, restarted the Fitbit, closed the Fitbit app, deleted the app and downloaded it again, and tried to pair it with her iPhone and nothing is working.

Hello @BDsenior
Hopefully I can help. First make sure you are using a compatible device to use the Fitbit App. You can check on compatible here: https://www.fitbit.com/global/us/technology/compatible-devices. Hopefully it’s compatible and I can help you set it back up.
It sounds like your Charge 4 somehow got disconnected from your account. Let’s try setting it up again as a new device. You won’t lose any data doing so as your data is held on the Fitbit Servers. Unfortunately since you currently can’t sync your Charge 4 you will however lose any data you may have collected after your last successful sync.
Here is how you set up your Charge 4 again as a new device. Please follow these instructions carefully and do not skip a step:
😃 I’m hoping this works and provides you with a solution. Please come back and let me know how it went.

My daughter got it to connect to her iPhone and added to my account after a lot of turning off and back on and synced it. After she logged out on her phone and forgot the Bluetooth connection, it was eventually able to be set up on my phone after more turning off and on. I think it’s fixed.

Woohoo @BDsenior 🥳 I’m so happy it worked up and running! Although sometimes it gets complicated but at least the end results is good news! 😃 Enjoy the rest of your evening and as always Happy Stepping!
