Just got a new charge 3 and updated the iOS app to the latest Discovery one.
Messages alert on the Charge 3 as do phonically but WhatsApp msgs do not. As my family use theses most of the time this is a pain in the neck. Any ideas as to how I can change this?

I am using an android phone. My charge 3 used to receive WhatsApp and Facebook messenger notifications but no longer does. I've looked in notifications but I don't have an option of app notifications and don't have an option to turn on WhatsApp or Facebook messenger notifications. I've tried reinstalling the Fitbit app. Any thoughts or help?

Have you found a solution? This issue has been going on since last year when one of the iOS updates was published. One of the reasons I acquired the charge 3 was specifically because I could receive my WhatsApp notifications. Now it’s been months and your only feedback is that you’re looking at the problem. You even released a new version of the Fitbit charge without attending to this problem. When will your customers be able to use back again one of the advertised features of your product?

Hi there,
I have tried to sync my WhatsApp and Fitbit by using all the guidance online but WhatsApp is not an option when I click on App notifications. Please can you explain further how I can make this work?

Same issue experienced here with an android device. Obviously Apple users are receiving the premium fitbit service and android users are shoved to the back of the room. Come on people, app notifications are one of the main reasons we buy your products so please try harder to make it actually work 🙂

Don't worry: we're all being treated very poorly by Fitbit! As an iPhone user, I can assure you that Fibit customer service is not giving us any nicer treatment 😉
I followed ALL the instructions from the Fitbit website (multiple times), reset my Charge 3 to factory settings, uninstall WhatApp and reset it (loosing all my messages BTW, to tell you how I was desperate to have it work and reset everything to a clean slate...), uninstall the Fitbit app, forgetting my Fitbit from the bluetooth on my phone, install and pair everything again... NOTHING! I won't get the Whatsapp notifications on my Charge 3.
Fitbit used to be good at fixing issues (it was years ago!), but customer service is getting downhill every day. Is this lack of response just a way to push customers to buy the new Charge 4?
