SpO2 app is installed but Fitbit app denies

[matt_tang]

I just got my charge 6 and noticed that there's no SpO2 reading inside the app. While looking into the detail page, there's a note asking me to install the SpO2 App and if I click on it, I'm linked to SpO2 tracker app that's designated for sense 2.

This is what I see when I go to learn more:

If I reinstall the preinstalled SpO2 App, the reading shows up. This is the 2nd day it's acting like that. Any Idea why this is happening?

Well, this morning my Sp02 has returned. Breathing rate, HRV and temperature have alL disappeared though. And to add to that if I look at any prior day's metrics and tap it, it doesn’t bring up that day's metrics but just today's (of which only two show) What a shambles.

I also have this issue. Spo2 tracking and display worked correctly earlier. Since the last firmware update it disappeared. The Fitbit app on my phone displaying, that I need to install Spo2 app on my Sense 2. When i follow the link it goes to an app page where it tells that Spo2 app is not available. However, the Spo2 app is actually installed on my watch. It seems that it's a firmware or app error. Also, the Spo2 tile dissapeared and I can't add it back in Manage Tiles, as it's not available anymore.

SP02 had been functioning flawlessly until this last Wednesday when it was no longer reported.  The app seems to be saying I need to update my device but the instruction provide reference something that isn't present.  So, what got broken this time?  This is valuable data no longer available.  Note that the app is installed on a Samsung S21.

As of this morning, Sunday, 5/12, Sp02 is again working as displayed in the app for my Charge 5.

Hello @rcfoulk 

Thanks for letting us know that you're seeing your SpO2 readings again. Hopefully, this means that the team was able to fix the problem.

Please keep us posted.

[npetro]

Well, any fix made by the dev team can only affect your device, if you
receive a firmware update. So no, that doesn't mean they were able to fix
this issue.

I have the same issue, just happened today 

[DriverEight]

Same issue with App not available.

What is being done? This has been this way for a month.Does Versa 4 get spo2 or not? Tells me to install app and then says not compatible with device. Ridiculous. 

[Cmcmillen1]

I have same issues. I used to get readings. Now it says need to install app and can't install it. Help

Hi, I've just bought a charge 6 today and am having this same issue. App and version is up to date, the sp02 app is installed, however it says needs installing to track. Please can you advise how to fix this? This was a key reason for buying this product.

[JHC1]

Same issues. As of 6/10/2025, seems to be working.

[LakeladyNC]

It is not fixed yet! I ditched my Chg 5 thinking it was not working well, only to get this Chg 6 that doesn't give me the SpO2 that I need!! Very frustrating.This will be my last purchase!! Why can't this be fixed? Look how long it has been going on! I wish  I could return my 2 week old watch, but I do not have the box. 

[mhouse]

be careful what you wish for, if they actually fix it they'll probably delete any history that exists.

In the meantime, I'd like to share with you that our team recently released a new Fitbit app version which brings performance improvements. With this in mind, please install the update, wear your Fitbit device to sleep and monitor its behavior in the next few days.

[LakeladyNC]

It did the update and it is working properly now. I hope it stays that way.
Thanks

Hi, 

I turned off my WiFi and used mobile sata only and the data showed up on the app immediately.
