When I try to send a message to a fitbit friend, the send button does NOTHING!  The cancel button works fine.  So, I cannot send a message to anyone.  Please help!

Hi @FranceAVG6 ! Hmm. I tried  to replicate that issue and wasn't able to. I would suggest, logging off, closing the app, and then opening the app and logging back in. If that doesn't work, I would suggest uninstalling and re-installing. 

 

Please let me know if those troubleshoots work or doesn't work. I hope this helps!

I'm having the same issue. I can't reply to a message thread with 4 entries in it already. The send button does not work. Only cancel. I'm using a Galaxy S4.

I sometimes can... and sometimes can't so I now don't bother typing out long messages to friends and switch to WhatsApp...

Is reinstalling going to make me lose anything? I've had problems w/synching today. Fixed it, but this is still happening!!

I can't send messages as the Send button seems to do nothing. This seems to be an issue going back a long time and it's now October 2017. I've tried logging off then on.. When that didn't work, I uninstalled then reinstalled the app and nothing changed. I am attempting to respond to a thread with about 6 previous messages between my friend and me. Why is this bug not yet fixed?

I have the same issue. I've uninstalled, reinstalled, logged off, logged on... and still can't send messages from my android phone. I press the send and nothing.. I end up deleting out the message and sending through the website. Fitbit please fix!

Best Answer

I have experienced this also and the fix is to shorten the message because there is a maximum amount of characters allowed. You will see the digits on the right margin change from black to red when you go over the limit.

Best Answer

That does not work. The app tells you how many characters you have left in your message. I can't even send 2 letters, and that's well under the limit.

I just started having this problem today. I logged out of the app, restarted my phone, logged back in, and the messaging worked fine.
