Inspire 3 Firmware Update 194.61

[LizzyFitbit]

7/13 Update: We’re continuing to roll out this firmware for the Inspire 3 Firmware Update 194.61, and expect more customers are able to update their devices. This is a progressive rollout and all customers can expect to have it within a few weeks. We release updates in phases so that we can monitor performance closely and make adjustments if needed. If you don't see the option to update, don't worry - you'll have it soon!

---

We’re excited to announce that a firmware update version 194.61 for Inspire 3 will be available soon! Some of you might already have this update available. If you installed it, let us know what you think!

We release updates to customers in phases. If you don’t see it, check the Fitbit app in a few days, and you’ll see a message when you can install the update. We appreciate your patience while we get this update to all of our customers.

*Firmware releases are not distributed based on region or location and can reach anyone no matter where you reside. We do not recommend performing a factory reset to force the update to your device as your data will be lost and you may not get the update. Please be patient and wait until you see the update banner inside of the Fitbit app to begin the firmware download.

Did anyone get the update? If they did can someone share all the new watch faces available for the inspire 3 (I think there are 4 to 5 of them). Appreciate it.

Still nothing here. Never heard of people who got it yet.

Still on 188.58 as of 7/2.

[Chowchilla]

Still nothing in the UK

Got it yesterday - update went fine. There’s maybe 4 new faces - hard to tell since they are mixed in with the existing ones in the gallery. I like this one - there’s a scale on the left that grows during the day as you make progress

This is the default charge 5 one I think. Pretty decent face. These are the other 3 I believe

Where in the app do you check for update? Did you get a notification?

Thanks

[lmacmil]

This is where I looked:  settings, help & support, check for Inspire 3 update.  Nothing for me as of 7/7.

[FitDB]

When the update is available, you get a notification in the app - sort of like a banner message - on the dashboard

Same here. Check it multiple times a day. Nothing yet

[Baltoscott]

I'm still waiting too. It usually takes a couple of weeks for the updates to fully roll out.

[fxdfxd]

Ok thanks 👍

[vampire36]

Has anyone else started getting the update yet?

[NomadCZ]

Nope. Still waiting.

Does anyone know why it takes multiple weeks for a software update to go out? Most devices (actually, all devices I can think of) get them all at once.

[vampire36]

I don’t know. I am checking everyday multiple times. No luck. Not sure why it’s taking so long.

[Emma.rose]

I have not got the update yet hope I get it soon😄

[NomadCZ]

This is interesting.

While a different device it's the same firmware version.

[vampire36]

I think in charge forum it’s confirmed it has nothing to do with this version. Something else has triggered this. Anyways another day passed still no signs of update. The excitement of the update slowly but surely is waned now.
