My friend request was accepted, but we still aren't friends.

My husband and I both have the fitbit blaze. I sent him a friend request, which he received and accepted, but it's still not showing us as friends. In fact, it's still giving me the option to send a friend request. We don't have our fitbits set to private, so I don't think it's just hiding us. I had no issues with adding my other friends. My husband and I have both synced our fitbits as well, so I'm not sure what the problem is, or what else to do.

Is there anyone who knows what the issue might be? I would really like to do the challenges with my husband, even though I know he'll out step me every time. Haha! He's a busy man. Still, it would be fun. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know.

It's great to have you here @LowlyBunni! It's pretty weird that it's still giving you the option to send a friend request if you already sent it. Because, when you send a friend request and you want to check the profile again, it just says "Friend request sent". 

I would like you to make sure that you're logged into the correct account. Also, that you sent the friend request to the correct email address, sometimes there may be a typo. You can double check your spam folder as well. 

Hope this helps!

I didn't know a person could have more than one fitbit account. We each only have one. My husband only has one email, and I only have one that I use. I just checked my spam folder to find nothing. I didn't search for his email to add him. I waited for him to show up in the "friends with fitbit" list and added him there. He accepted the request, but instead of being added to my friends, it went back to before I sent the request. So I sent another one. He's in another country right now. I don't know if that could have anything to do with it. I'm not sure if he received or accepted the new request, as his time zone is opposite of mine.

I don't know what changed, but he's suddenly in my friends list. Yay!! I'm so excited. I wish I knew what fixed it, but I'm just happy it finally worked. Thank you for replying to this with suggestions. 😊
