Fitbit app drains phone battery

[skindy]

I had to uninstall the fitbit app from my phone as it was causing my phone battery to drain to where I would have to charge it more than once per day.  I would have 60% power when I went to bed and when I woke up my phone would be dead.  Anyone have that problem and know how to fix it?

@skindy Welcome! It's nice to have you on board!

Let me help you with your Fitbit app draining your phone's battery. Do you have the battery stats on your phone showing this (this helps to investigate the issue)? Has this happened just recently (ie with the latest version or with previous versions too)? Could you add the Fitbit app to the battery saver list on your phone (most phones include this feature)? Have you tried reinstalling the app and seeing if the issue persists?

I look forward to your reply.

Same thing happens to my phone. I'm very upset and ready to ditch the Fitbit!

Very frustrating isn't it!

I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app twice. It helped a little. I
will check out your recommendations and let you know if it helps. I never
had this problem with my Slta.
