I got a new blaze, and on my old charge I could hold down a button to turn off notifications of texts and calls so that I could easily silence it while sleeping.  Is there a similar feature on the blaze??

Hi @Heather17. Good to see you in the Forums! 🙂

 

You can totally disable all notifications from appearing on your tracker. You can do this in two ways. The first one is that if you put your phone in DO NOT DISTURB mode, the notifications will not reach your tracker since your phone itself is not receiving them.

 

Now, the second way is from your tracker directly. From the clock face, swipe down from the top and you should see the notifications option. Tap on OFF and the notifications will not get to your tracker. Whenever you want to enable them again, just swipe down again from the clock face and in Notifications, select ON and they will go through again without a problem.

 

Hope this helps. Let me know if you need anything else!

Hey @FerdinandFitbit!  Sorry to dig up a year-old post here, but I found this thread while looking a solution to the opposite problem.  I have the Blaze, and I ALWAYS want it receive notifications from my phone, but the Notifications setting inadvertently gets toggled to Off very frequently for me.  I expect that this is just from brushing up against objects or accidentally hitting the screen while scratching my wrist or something like that.  I've been struggling with this consistently since I got the Blaze last June, so I'm wondering if there is any way to disable this swipe-down menu from the device.

 

If I were a gambling man, I'd say there's probably no such option.  In any case, this is about as "first-world" as first-world problems can get, so I don't really mind if I just have to keep doing what I'm doing.  Thanks!
