Can't update software on Charge 5

Replies are disabled for this topic. Start a new one or visit our Help Center.

All the information about updating software on my Charge 5 show a different screen (profile icon on the left rather than the right) than what I have on my app. If I click on the profile icon on the right of the screen, I don't find the menu that is suggested. Help? How do I update my Charge 5 software?

Hello @lottiblackrocks and welcome to the Community.  Please tap on the device/battery icon in the upper left of your Fitbit app, then your Charge 5 image.  The update option is on that page.  Unfortunately, many searches take us to out of date pages.
