I have a Samsung S10. I updated to new version today. I switched to my kids account for a sync. Now it will not allow me to switch back to the parent account. Error after entering my password "you do not have permissions to perform this action" i changed my account password and tried again. Uninstaller the app is the only way I can get back to my account.
I have deleted the app 3 times and installed it again, all the data was still in the app.
Best AnswerIf your data has been synced to the fitbit cloud, uninstalling will not result in any loss of data. The app does this every time you sync your fitbit device.
You won't lose any data.
Instead of uninstalling the app I cleared the app data. Then I could log in without uninstalling. Saved me a few seconds.
Settings > Apps and notifications > App info > Fitbit > Storage > Clear data
This resets your Fitbit app to default. Clear data deletes all data except for the app itself, including the cash.
I have Samsung S10 5g and have found the same issue occur in the last 24 hours. Did the same with password, but feared I would lose information if I deleted the app
I contacted fitbit this morning, its being past to another team to be escalated and they are contacting me via email.
Best AnswerI have the same phone and same issue, trying to switch from one account thr next for my kids school work was a headache as I did uninstall the app and still had the same issue, thought I mistyped...retyped.....then reset but still no change. Following for the result.
resolved this last night as per someone else's advice on this thread: Settings > Apps and notifications > App info > Fitbit > Storage > Clear data
Best AnswerI did uninstall fitbit app and re installed it again, its fixed. Did not try to switch to kids account worrying that I might have similar issues.
