I have a samsung. I go to settings on my phone, then scroll to find Apps .click this. Then scroll to find fitbit.click this. Then go to storage and click this. Then clear data. Hit ok. Then go back to your fitbit app and log in and say yes to permission for location etc., hope this helps. Should be the same procedure on all phones I think.

Will this fix erase the data in my tracker, or online in the dashboard? I really wouldn't want to lose all my exercise data or custom food data.

Received a firmware update notice on the fitbit app on Wed evening.  Ran the update and now I can no longer access the exercise tile on my fitbit ionic.  It just sits there...cannot record any exercise activities nor will it pull up the list of exercises.  t's recording my steps, heartbeat, sleep, etc. but not exercise activities.  I've shut down the fitbit, restarted it, uninstalled and reinstalled it, deleted the app from my iPhone, restarted my phone and reinstalled the app.  No changes.  What's the deal?

There is no clear data option. Clear storage or clear cache. After clearing cache the problem is still there.

In storage there is no clear data option , only clear storage or clear cache.

Is all of your exercise and other data lost if the advice to clear user data is followed. I am also having the same problem with Strava so I suspect it probably has to do with an update on another app that both Fitbit and Strava access. Any idea what that app update may be.

I don't have clear data! I have clear cache and clear storage. I have a Google pixel 2 running system 10. I don't want to do the wrong thing. Please help!

There is nothing called “clear data” on my phone app. There is “clear storage” and “clear cache.” I am not willing to use the clear storage button as it says this will wipe out all of my workouts. That sounds absurd. Clear cache doesn’t work. So, other ideas?
