Inspire 3 not receiving notifications and screen is stuck a battery symbol

Since I updated my fitbit inspire 3, I have a battery symbol with a slash through it on my fitbit.  I do not get notified when I get a text or phone call anymore. I have tried multiple things to correct it, but nothing has worked.  Can I take the update off?

Hi there, @harigirl. Welcome to the Fitbit Community Forums. Thanks for bringing this to my attention and for the troubleshooting steps you've tried. I'm sorry to hear that your Inspire 3 stopped receiving notifications and that a battery symbol is stuck on the screen. I understand your concern, I will do my best to help you with this!

To better assist you, I'd like to confirm that your Inspire 3 does receive notifications but it does not vibrate, Am I correct? If this describes your issue, please check whether your Inspire 3 is in sleep or DND mode. When the do not disturb setting is on:

  • Notifications, goal celebrations, and reminders are muted.
  • The do not disturb icon illuminates, in quick settings.

When sleep mode is on:

  • Notifications, goal celebrations, and reminders are muted.
  • The screen's brightness is set to dim.
  • The screen stays dark when you turn your wrist. To wake your tracker, firmly tap the screen twice.
  • The sleep mode icon illuminates, in quick settings.

On the other hand, if you're not receiving notifications whatsoever, please make sure you've followed the troubleshooting steps provided in either of these two help articles Troubleshooting quick tips for iPhones Why are notifications delayed or missing?

Regarding the battery symbol, I'd recommend restarting your Inspire 3 by following these steps

Thanks for the reply.   I started getting notifications late last night.  The battery with the / is still there even after restarting.  I am willing to live with that.  I am just glad my notifications have come back.  Thank you
