How do you change the first day of the week?

[Francl27]

I am confused. On my web dashboard, it's specified that the week starts on Monday for me... How come that the sleep data starts on Sunday then? Am I missing something and where do I fix it?

Hello @Francl27.

I'm afraid I don't fully understand what you're referring to. Could you please elaborate what you mean when you say that the sleep data starts on Sunday?

Look forward to your reply so that I can find the best way to move forward.

[Francl27]

If I click on the sleep icon and look at the week logs, it starts the week on Sunday instead of Monday (for the average).

I have the same problem.

Chosing monday as start day, but it show sunday in the weight-log.

Hello @Francl27! Thanks for joining the Forums @142kg!

I'd like to ask for both of you to take a screen shot of what are you seeing and then reply with the picture. That way I'll be able to see exactly what you're referring to.

Look forward to your replies.

Hello I am also having the same problem.

I want my weeks to start on Monday.

Thanks for joining the Forums @KatieLeason.

Please take a screen shot like I mentioned in my previous post and then post it as a reply. I'd like to see exactly what you mean when you say that the sleep starts on Sunday.

Look forward to your reply.

Could you please give directions on how to change the day you want your week to start on the Fitbit app? I changed it on the web page, but after logging out then back in, it still shows Sunday instead of Monday as start day. It has changed itself as I never chose Sunday as a start day. Given that this is a common problem it would be more useful if you post a reply publically.

Welcome to the Community @KiwiAnna! 

At this moment it is not possible to do that on the app. Perhaps you could show your support for this idea. You could vote for it or comment on it to show that you'd like to see that implemented.

Hope to see you around! 

[KiwiAnna]

Thanks for getting back in touch. I decided to change to Sunday as my start
day on the website to match the app. There's a bonus to it: no slacking off
on the weekend!

Regards,

Anna.

That's a very good way to think about it. Props to you for being optimistic!

same here: on Friday I replaced my Samsung S6 by a new S7, and now I see the weekly totals (eg for steps) in the android app start on Sunday and go till Saturday.

I'm absolutely sure on my S6 it was Monday-Sunday!

In my Fitbit profile I have 'Start Week On' set to Monday.

Not sure if the app is looking at some Android setting? I couldn't find a 'first day of week' setting in the phone settings. I did find one in the Google Calendar app, but there as well I have it on Monday.

Looks like your not the only one waiting to use Mondays as the first day of the week

but I'm sure on my S6 Monday was the first day of the week.

Must be some 'hidden' setting somewhere, either in the app (doubt it, looked everywhere) or in Android (probably, loads of settings).

edit: found it!!

Although my native language is Dutch (I'm from the Flemish part of Belgium), I always set my electronic devices to English. There are too many wrong or weird translations, also in Android OS (not that my English is flawless )

I changed the language settings of Android from English (US) to English (Belgium). After a restart of my S7, the start of the week in the Fitbit app is Monday. Hurray

[KiwiAnna]

Nice result!

[LanuzaFitbit]

Hey @Freeco, @Tao75 and @KiwiAnna.

@Tao75 Thanks for sharing that suggestion with @Freeco. @Freeco Thanks for letting us know that the restart did the trick. I'll be sure to mention it to other users that find a similar issue.

Feel free to let me know if you have any further questions.

[Freeco]

It wasn't just the restart of my smartphone that did it! Before that I changed the language settings of Android from English (US) to English (Belgium).

Apparently the app takes these regional settings into account.

[LanuzaFitbit]

Hi @Freeco.

Thanks for the clarification. That is certainly an interesting workaround. I will keep it in mind for any users that might experience a similar issue. 

By the way, if you have the time perhaps you could visit one of our Discussion boards. You can find lots of different topics to talk about with other Community members.

Hope to see you around!

I was able to change it on the app for iOS, but not on an android one.

On the fitbit app for iPhones you go to Advance Settings and its label "Start Week On" and then you pick Monday or Sunday but android doesn't have that option.

This is weird that Fitbit has a setting but the app doesn't care?

Is it going to be fixed?
