I recently changed my ISP to Starlink, this may be completely unrelated, not sure.  I have a Versa 2 and a Samsung Galaxy s21, they will not sync and I have the warning on my dashboard "Nearby Permission Required to Sync" I have tried looking around on my own and googling, etc. I do not see how to resolve this issue.  Please help if you can.

Just update to Android 12?  From https://9to5google.com/

Android 12 adds ‘Nearby device’ permission so wearable apps can stop requesting ‘Location’ 

Before posting, re-read to see if it would make sense to someone else not looking at your Fitbit or phone.
