iPhone 11 Pro won’t let me set up notifications and all day sync. Phone says Bluetooth Pairing Required but when I press setup I end up getting a message saying Bluetooth Pairing Failed. Phone and Fitbit are connected to Bluetooth as it syncs my steps sleep etc

Thanks for getting back @Skeney

 

Since the steps above didn't work, please try the following:

 

  1. Go to the Bluetooth settings on your phone and check if your tracker is on the list of paired devices. If it is, tap on it and select Forget this Device.
  2. Open the Fitbit app 
  3. Tap on Account > Charge 3 > Notifications
  4. When a pop-up with a "Bluetooth Pairing Required" message, tap on Set Up and continue.
  5. A new "Bluetooth Pairing Request" will appear, tap on Pair to continue
  6. Once in the Notifications menu, enable the ones you'd like to receive. 
  7. Go to your phone Settings > Notifications > Fitbit and make sure the following is enabled:
    • Allow Notifications—On
    • Alerts > Notification Center—On
    • Show PreviewsAlways or When Unlocked

 

I hope this helps, keep me posted.

@Skeney Have you tried restarting both the phone and the Fitbit?  See if rebooting will help.

Have tried both. Have even uninstalled the app and Fitbit from phone and reinstalled and still no joy. Don’t understand why it says I need to pair Fitbit to Bluetooth when it must be paired for the other features to be working.
