Charge 4 doesn't receive notifications

I was so happy today to receive my brand new Charge 4!

Set-up went smoothly, BUT...I don’t get any notifications... not from calls, texts or apps!😤😭

 

Is it me or my device?  Please help me!

There is more info to be found on the iOS board 

Best Answer

I’ve done everything on the help doc! Nothing helped.

Everything worked fine with my charge 3.  
I even reinstalled the app, redone the connection,...

 

Best Answer

I have turned Bluetooth on and off, reinstalled the Fitbit app, etc without any luck.

 

Best Answer

Do you have show preview turned on? 

Do notifications popup on the phone, while the phone is locked! 

I'm going to move your iOS question to the iOS board. 

Best Answer

No, notifications don’t popup on the phone, while the phone is locked!

If you are unable to see notifications on the phone while locked, your phone will also not send notifications to be passed onto your tracker. 

Best Answer

I actually do see notifications on the phone while locked.

Charge 4 not receiving text message notifications. I get call notifications but no texts. Bluetooth and fitbit app settings are correct. DNS off. Beginning bumpy stages? 😢

Best Answer

Dear guys,

 

Since yesterday my problems are solved. Out of the blue there was an update available of the charge 4. Now everything works!

 

With me it was not a problem of settings etc, but FB -IOS.

I've tried all of the above suggestions and still can't get notifications on the Charge 4.  I never had issues with the Charge 2.  I have updated both iphone 8 and Charge 4.  Is there still a bug somewhere in the 4?

Best Answer

Anyone found a fix for this? Unable to receive notifications and have tried all of the above. Hoping there is just a quick update that works this out.

Best Answer

I had the same problem for a few days.  I disconnected from my phone Bluetooth and Fitbit app.  Reinstalled and still no notifications.   Something dawned on me to scroll over on my watch to settings and I notice my do not disturb was set to on for some reason.   Problem solved hopefully this is easy fix for you as well.  

Best Answer

An update that I got today seems to have solved the problem for me!

I just called about reminders to move not working (they never have since I got the device) and she told me it was a known issue and they are "working on it" from the software side.  My device has the most recent software.  I really hope they fix is soon. It was a primary reason for my purchase during quarantine.

I have the same problem with the Charger4! Did you figure out how to get text notifications? I have updated iPhone operating System and the Fitbit app, and tried rebooting the Charger 4. I can get reminders to move and phone calls but not text notifications. 

Best Answer

I also have the same problems. 
There’s no issue on my Charge 3.
