VPN issues on location and timezone

‎10-28-2025 12:44

I’m currently travelling in the Caribbean but needed to use a VPN to access UK websites whilst away.

I’ve turned off the VPN but there seems to be an ongoing issue with the FitBit location and timezone. If I set it automatically it sets the location as “United Kingdom” and the timezone as “Etc/UTC (GMT). I can override the location manually but the timezone just keeps reverting back to Etc/UCT (GMT) even though it’s set to manual.

I’ve tried rebooting the app, deleting and redownloading the app and rebooting my phone. None of this has fixed it.

while searching the forum I’ve come across other examples where a VPN might cause an issue but no actual solutions. Any suggestions on how to proceed?
