This has been fixed for me. My issue specifically was that my Fitbit was vibrating for calls, but not for text messages. I was receiving other vibration alerts, such as move reminders, silent wakup, etc. It was only the text messages not vibrating.
After going through numerous similar forum topics, trying all the Bluetooth unpairing, removing/unlinking devices from from the Fitbit app, magic wizardry of restarting my phone in between all that, this is what finally worked.
Fitbit: Flex 2
Phone Specs: iPhone 7, latest iOS 12.1
Steps to Fix:
In the Fitbit App:
- Open the Fitbit app.
- Select the Fitbit icon in the upper-left of the screen.
- Select Notifications.
- Turn OFF both the Calls and Text Messages notifications.
- Force quit the Fitbit app. On my phone it was double-clicking the phone Home button, then swiping up to shut the app.
- Open the Fitbit app again.
- Select the Fitbit icon in the upper-left of the screen.
- Select Notifications.
- Turn ON both the Calls and Text Messages notifications.
On Your Phone:
- Go into Settings>Notifications.
- In the Fitbit notifications, make sure Allow Notifications is turned on and that all three Alerts are checked.
- In the Messages notifications, make sure that Allow Notifications is turned on and all three Alerts are checked (this is where mine was missing a check on the Notification Center alert).
That last Step #3 was what did it for me. It is possible that I did not have to do the first part and force quit the Fitbit app, but at this point it is working and I'm not willing to test that theory. 🙂 I was ready to return this new Flex 2 which I had just purchased yesterday. Thank you to the various folks in the community whose messages contributed to what worked for me.
