Weather app won't update on my Versa Lite

[barrypearson695]

I don’t have the location turned on with my iPad and I could get the weather to work on my versa lite without it. I had the Fitbit app on my smart phone but I uninstalled it and I put my back on my iPad.Now when I go to weather in gallery it’s saying I need the location switched on

Hello @barrypearson695 

It helps to have your Fitbit App location set to Allow All The Time and not Allow only when using. To check your location settings for the Fitbit App follow these steps: 

1. Tap the settings on your Android phone

2. Scroll down and tap Location 

3. Tap App Permissions 

4. Scroll down an tap Fitbit

5. Enable Allow all the time

6. Sync your Versa Lite to accept the changes

😃 I hope this helps and answers your question. Please let me know how it goes

Hi there, @barrypearson695. Thanks for stopping by in the Community Forums. Thanks for the details provided in your post about the issue with the weather app. @SunsetRunner Thanks for your help!

If the weather is still not updating after syncing, check the following settings:

• Location services must be turned on for the Fitbit app. For instructions, see How do I use GPS on my Fitbit device?
• The Fitbit app must remain running in the background on your phone.

If you change locations, sync your device to see your new location in the Weather app. If you're running into syncing difficulties, see Why won't my Fitbit device sync?

By the way, I've moved your post to the Fitbit App Gallery board for organization purposes.

Hope that helps.

I have the location settings on my Android phone turned to on all the time and my still won’t sync. I’m getting Stony Plain — C

Hello again @MarreFitbit 

When I say location turned to Always on I’m speaking about the location permissions within the Fitbit App. You can find that settings using the path I described in my previous post. 

you said your getting “Stony Plain — C”….I’m unsure of what that means. Please clarify.

I do have the permissions to always on. By —C I mean the temperature is blank.

Hello again @barrypearson695 

Let’s  look at one more setting. Open the Fitbit App, tap your profile picture then scroll down to and tap Versa lite. Next tap Gallery then scroll down and tap weather. First tap permissions and ensure Internet, location and run in the background. Go back to the previous page then tap settings. Ensure your unit is correct. Once you are finished make sure you sync your Versa Lite to accept any changes you might have made.

Ah. Got it now. Thanks. I didn’t have the weather location on in gallery
