Dumb Question: Do I Have to Keep My Phone's Bluetooth On All the Time?

[RSnic]

Hi,

I just got a FitBit Versa so pardon my dumb question.

I have a Samsung S8 and previously the battery lasted almost all day, even with some Bluetooth pairing with my car.  I noticed that in the last 2 days, my phone drains a lot more.   

So I have two questions:

• First, must I keep my phone's Bluetooth on at all times?
• If I turn off my phone's Bluetooth, what FitBit Versa functions do I lose and is the data subsequently sent to the phone when it's connected?

Thanks!

Hi, @RSnic! You definitely don't need to keep it on when you're not syncing your tracker if you don't want to. You'll only lose the notifications functionality. When you want to sync, you can just turn on bluetooth and open up the Fitbit app.
