Mobiletrack not tracking steps

[oinklet99]

I can't get rid of this notification. It's an Android phone with an older Fitbit.

I have no means I can see to switch off MobileTrack. I don't even know what it is.

Not only that but another message says my battery MUST be unrestricted. What? I'm not switching off my battery saver for Fitbit.

The app has been fine for five or six years but after this 'update' it's got VERY annoying. Why should I have to suddenly give it all these new permissions? You'll be getting uninstalled soon.

I agree!  Getting same annoying message every 5 mins.  I dont have a battery unrestricted option to choose on my android.  Frustrating!

I resorted to switching off all Fitbit notifications. The only useful one anyway was to recharge the watch and I can see when that's run out of juice.

Hello @oinklet99 

Mobile track is using your phone to track steps and a few other metrics when you aren't wearing your Fitbit device. 

To turn it off in the updated app, tap on the device icon in the upper left on the Today page. This opens the Connected to Fitbit page. You should be able to remove your phone as a connected device from here.
