Using a Charge 6 with an iPhone

ANSWERED

I got my fitbit when I had a Google pixel 8, I realized that I am an apple consumer and transitioned back but I was aware that Fitbit would still connect via iphone. 

Any issues for anybody else??

Hi there, @Ooogzyayb. It's nice to see you around the Fitbit Communtiy Forums. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I will do my best to help you with this!

To better assist you, may I know if you're experiencing syncing issues with your iPhone? If so, see Why won't my Fitbit device sync?

Regarding your Google Pixel 8 and iPhone, do you want to still use your Pixel phone? If so, please note that you can use both devices. However, is very important to turn off the Bluetooth on one device when you want to sync with the other. Keep in mind that Fitbit devices can only talk to one device at a time. It can be trusted on many devices, phones, tablets, and so on, but because of the limitations of Bluetooth, it will only be able to talk to one at a time.

The data from the Charge 6 is sent to the Fitbit cloud. After the data has been processed it will be put into your Fitbit account. Now your Fitbit account has access to and will display the data. Opening the app on a second device/phone/tablet will have access to the same data and a sync is not needed if a sync recently occurred through a different device.

Since the Charge 6 is already set up you don't need to set it up again on the iPhone. With that being said, on the second device, open the Fitbit app, log into your account, grant any permissions requested and the Charge 6 should then sync. Again, is very important to turn off the Bluetooth on one device when you want to sync with the other.
