How do I turn off goal notifications on Inspire 3?

[DavidGilbertson]

I worked out the answer to my question while writing the question! I'm going to post it anyway in case it helps someone else...

My Inspire 3 occasionally buzzes with notifications. I don't even know what they are. They show up while I'm riding but disappear after a second, so I don't even have time to safely read them. The screen shows a three-chevron icon and a number like 500 or 750.

In the web dashboard, I have turned off all notifications, except "Low Battery" and "Auto Recognized Exercises".

In the app, I have turned off "Reminders to Move" and everything on the "Notifications" screen.

On the device, I have turned on "DND Mode"

The solution: on the device, (in addition to the above one million places to manage notifications) there is a setting for "AZM Notifications" (Active zone minutes) that I had to turn off.

Hi there, @Daydreamandy. Welcome to the Fitbit Community Forums. Thanks for adding your comment.

Don't worry, you will find those instructions here: Can I turn zone notifications on or off on my Fitbit device?

Have a great day.

My zone notifications are already off.

I want the fitbit to stop telling me when i have reached or part of goals are completed.

I dont want it to vibrate in any way at any time!

There seems to be no obvious setting to control this.

@Daydreamandy Thanks for letting me know that you've already turn off your zone notifications. Please check these other notifications: 

• How do I turn my Fitbit device’s notification setting on or off?
• How do I turn reminders to move on or off on my Fitbit device?
• Inspire 3 Manual pages 18.

Let me know if you're receiving any particular notification after checking this information and what was explanad here. 

Hope this helps.

Since posting this I've discovered that even with all the things turned off, I still get buzzy wrist notifications telling me congratulations on a certain number of Active Zone Minutes. So there's obviously a bug in the software somewhere. They don't seem happen as often though, but maybe I'm just not being as active.

I have also leaved that Fitbit the company doesn't seem to have any mechanism to log bugs and track whether or not they're acknowledged, being worked on, or fixed.

I had set all the goals to be as unobtainable as possible to shut the thing up. An answer in this thread points to the manual, page 18. Sleep mode should disable all goal notifications so i have reset my goal settings, put sleep mode on and will see what happens. Andy

David, I am seriously wishing I had stayed with my Charge 2, because I am not liking the Inspire 3 for the same reason you stated. When I want to see the TIME, there's always some message in the way and nothing I do gets it off the screen. It's very frustrating. I read the manual, I tried to follow your list. But my I-3 Notifications screen doesn't show a way to turn it off? Tapping doesn't do anything. Swiping takes me somewhere else....if it even responds. And in my account online with my PC I can't even find a way to turn off everything except the low battery warning. I am reasonably intelligent, but this device is VERY unintuitive IMO. If you have any advice, I'd appreciate it....thx! Sharon

Sorry I bothered you. I think I finally found a link with an answer. I still don't like the Inspire 3, but since I bought a year of premium service, I'll deal with it for now. The Inspire 3 doesn't even count stairs??? That's a lot of my activity when it's really hot outside here in TX. Thx for your info....it got me started!
