I've had my Inspire 3 for 18 months and can count on one hand the number of times it has lost its bluetooth (BT) connection.  When it did, it was a simple step to either just turn BT off and back on or "forget" the Inspire 3 and let BT find it again.  Since the update to 210.26 I am losing the BT connection multiple times per day and the usual steps often fail to restore it.  If I "forget" the device, sometimes it won't even be found again and I'll get an error message saying it took to long.  Other times I just get a failed to connect message.  It usually reconnects on its own when I'm not doing anything.  I have rebooted the Inspire and the iPhone (15 with up to date iOS) and neither solves the problem.  Nothing has changed except the firmware.  Once again Google/Fitbit seems to have put out a flawed update.  Don't they test these things?  (he asks rhetorically)

Based on another post, I discovered the problem.  I had bluetooth enabled on my Android tablet and even though I don't connect to the Fitbit app on that device, it was apparently interfering with the BT connection between my Inspire 3 and my iPhone.  Once I turned off BT on the tablet, I no longer am experiencing BT disconnects between the tracker and the iPhone.
