Can't change the language on my Inspire 3

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

I want to change the language on my fitbit. The app is in English but the watch is in German. I want to keep the location in Germany so that the clock is accurate but I want it to use English. Is this possible?

Hi there, @ShadowJay. It's nice to see you around the Fitbit Community Forums. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I'm sorry to hear that your Inspire 3 is not showing the language that you want. I understand your concern, I will do my best to help you with this!

Is your phone set in English or German? Please note that the Fitbit app will grab the setting from your phone. If the language keeps reverting to German, make sure your phone is also in the language you want.

As you also mentioned, the language displayed on your Fitbit device will be based on the language you're using on your Fitbit account, as well as the location selected. With this in mind, please give a try to the following steps:

f you sign I with your Google Account: 

  1. From the Today tab in the Fitbit app, tap your profile picture > Fitbit settings App Settings.
  2. Turn off the option to automatically detect your country.
  3. Choose your country, then sync your device.
  4. Follow the instructions to update your device to use the language you selected.

If you sign in with your Fitbit login:

  1. From the Today tab in the Fitbit app, tap Settings > App Settings.
  2. Turn off the option to automatically detect your country.
  3. Choose your country, then sync your device.
  4. Follow the instructions to update your device to use the language you selected.

If you have tried all the above but to no avail, please try restarting your Inspire 3 and then sync it.
