I installed an update to my Galaxy S8 a few days ago. Now the Fitbit app does not connect to fitbit.com. Any ideas?

posting on the forum. Thanks for responding.

All i needed to do on android was, open Settings then take the applications choice. Now locate fitbit, it was in a row of open apps.
Select it and choose Force stop.
Not many apps get in this state, fitbit could do better.
