Can’t swipe to the right on my Fitbit Ionic to turn on notification

[Piqner]

Can someone explain to me why can’t i swipe to the right to turn on notification from phone? I kept swiping to the right of the clock display but it kept coming back to the clock. Is there any other way to turn on the notification?

No problem, to access the area you seek, LONG PRESS ON THE LEFT BUTTON and than slide that screen to the RIGHT.  You should now be on the NOTIFICATION Screen.

Hope this helped and Keep on STEPPING!

Wow...I’ve never tried that before.I can’t either...

I don't want to long press the left button.  Swipe right was much easier.

Wow. I've been searching for the answer for weeks, since the latest update. That was a HUGE help. Thank you. I'm so excited!

I agree was happy to find it but even though it's on I don't get my text messages or phone calls anymore. I did a reset on the watch several times too....

Thanks! Appreciate that info

Mine still won't swipe to right! 

[SunsetRunner]

Mine won’t swipe at all in any direction 

[Kgabby]

Swipe from top to bottom.

When I press and hold left button I get 

“SET UP WALLET”.

Cannot swipe R to L??

I had the same problem, go to settings/Left Button and change it to set a shortcut for quick access.

Long hold on the left button just takes me to shortcuts.  I am not getting text/call notifications on my Fitbit.

[Lynneewynnee]

Go to your settings, then scroll down to 'Left Button' click on this. It will then allow you to choose what you want the long hold on the left button to do. Mine is set to quick settings.

But I can't swipe right.  I have to hold down the button.  I'm trying to set the swipe right.  Also, texts don't automatically appear - I want them to pop up when received, not have to hit the left button to access them.

You don't need to swipe right to get to your settings, swipe left.
