Since I downloading the Fitbit app my samsung 6S continues to engage Drive mode all day. In the car or out of the car. Then synced with my Samsung tablet and now it is turning on the drive mode all day.

OK, now along with driving mode turning on by itself I am no longer receiving TEXT messages on my Alta HR. Ugh...

But, once "unchecking all bluetooth devices that you do not want driving mode turned on for" (as you recommend) doesn't that erase driving mode for your phone when in the car? That's what I found has happened to my phone now. PROBLEM: How can I link/sync my Fitbit Versa to my Samsung 6Edge phone without that darn "[Auto Reply] I'm driving. Get back to you later" response automatically going out to every single text I receive???

It sounds like the problem is with the fitbit app, not with verizon messenger.  I do want my phone to send an "I'm driving" response to texts when I'm driving, but now, since I installed the app for fitbit, it does it all day long when I'm no where near my car.  Very annoying but I'm afraid that if I disable bluetooth on my verizon messenger that it will turn off my auto response when I actually am driving.  Will it?

I have the driving mode auto reply turned off and my phone is paired with my fitbit Alta. Nevertheless, the driving mode auto reply comes on by itself no matter where I am! Please help!
