How do I get my fit bit and my phone linked back up so when I get text messages they come through on my fit bit.  I have the Charge 2 fit bit.  Can anyone help me so that I can get this set up again from my phone to my fit bit again.  I enjoy that feature. I had it then it went away. I would like to get it back again

 

Thank you Peggy

Hi, I have a G5 and I've been told personally on the phone that my phone
won't work with my Charge 2. It worked in the past, but with the new update
they didn't include it. Thanks anyway.

I have done these steps and still not working

Notifications is on but still doesn’t let me know any calls or emails coming in

I'm having the same issue with my Charge 2, yet nothing is helping me. I have never been able to receive calls, but I used to get text messages. However, neither one is coming through now. I stopped getting messages in about June of this year, only 2 months after I had gotten my Fitbit. I'm disappointed, and I hope this issue is resolved in the future.

I really valued that feature and am so disappointed in not having it work - mine has not worked since I got it - I was hoping that maybe something happened during set up but haven’t been able to figure it out to date

I am still not receiving texts or phone call messages on my Charge 2 with an iPhone6.  I haven't for  a long time, it worked for a while then quit.  I gave up, sure would be nice to have them back again.  One of the main reasons I bought this Fitbit.

Have you checked to make sure the Charge 2 has notify cat one turned on? 

Does the phones Bluetooth show the Charge 2 as connected? 

Have you checked Fitbit's searchable interactive help site, link as he I and found below. 

 How to setup notifications

Why don't I receive notifications.

No. The problem is with FitBit and or Apple?  If it is FitBit, I don't think the CEO will be around in 3 months!  Incompetence on so many levels!

 

however, knowing how Apple slowed down older phone to try and sell new phones, it is probable that they sabotaged FitBit trying to sell iWatches?

i think it is clear that Tim Cook was a mistake and will be retired soon.

Try the simplest first. Double check to see that you're notifications on your fitbit is still turned on. It's like checking to see if your tv is plugged in before calling a repairman. Next, try uninstalling your fitbit app, then reinstalling it. Good luck.

Unfortunately I did try this solution to no avail.  I am so disappointed since I really enjoyed that feature. Seems I'm not the only one with this issue.
