How to see the Fitbit battery status on the new app

[Jsheltmk23]

Does the new interface show the battery charge percentage?

Not good. Need to know percentage before leaving house so Fitbit covers my body movements all day

[Thomassw]

Hate the new app.  Can’t see the percentage on my inspire.  I won’t get another Fitbit if it isn’t fixed. 

[Nawtykitty]

Mine doesn't even show that on my phone.

It doesn't even show battery full or empty on my phone.

The fact that my FitBit battery drains SO fast, having the charge percentage on the app is crucial. Can't read it on the watch. Change it back please.

Yes, Totally Agree! This Should Be An Urgent Fix!

[Mary-Ann1]

Ya mine doesn't either

I would hope it would get changed back and we wouldn't have to get another app to make something work that was working perfectly fine for me at least.

I did check my app today, then clicked on the Watch connection in the upper left of the home screen on the app.  I then went to my Charge 5 watch and it now shows medium for my battery life.  I am hoping that once it goes to low in the next day or two, then I will get an email that my watch battery is low.  So at least that will be something to tell me to charge my watch if this does indeed happen.

I did not get email at 27% but the app Icon was red. This just isn’t working for me.

The main change, and the one I’m most unhappy with, is the loss of the battery percentage icon.

In the morning when the percentage icon told me it was low I would plug the Fitbit in and read the news while it charged and would periodically check the percentage until it was done.  So with the update it told me my Fitbit was full and when I went to put it back on, it was only at 82%.  When I plugged it in this morning, the icon was red on my phone but it was still 27% in my Fitbit. We really need for you to bring the percentage icon back on the front page as it was before. It was a huge mistake when you removed it.

Ok I just checked and yes its showing the battery now but not the percentage, thanks for letting us know, adding percentage would be beneficial but at least there is a battery status now

Hello everyone! Thanks for your comments and feedback regarding this information on the Fitbit app. 

Here you find the instructions how to find the battery level:

The problem is not how to see the battery status, we all know that, but why remove the battery %? We all want to know how low is low 5%, 10%, 17%??? 

[Wisecowboy2]

Why did Fitbit remove the battery life information from the app? I have no way to know how much battery life is left. The CS rep said it just changes color and says low battery. That is useless. How much time do I have before it dies? I don't carry my charger cord everywhere so I can't just charge it on the go. Please put the battery life percentage back in the app.

Just to add to the volume, I also would like to see the percentage of battery charge remaining!

[Nawtykitty]

One of the messages I got last night was from Product Feedback (?) was that they are working on restoring the percentage icon. Hopefully, it won't take them forever. I really need that (among other things they removed).

Everybody on this feed that tried it says it doesn't work for percentage of charge.

[Prospector16]

This is a terrible downgrade!  Wow!

[Lonelyfemale]

It showed it was, but my fitbit show 80%

[brendabaker67]

If I touch my watch it will stop charging

I am having the same issue and the update makes it worse 

[Korasusu]

I need to see the percentage!!!!! Please fix the app.
