Need notifications during sleep if someone calls, but not other notifications

[Snusp]

I´m on call at work every now and then and would like my Fitbit Versa to vibrate when someone calls me during my sleep but not to give me any other notifications. Is it possible to do so in an easy way?

Yes you can. You will need to set notifications up in your app, then on your Versa a long press ofbthe left button takes you to the screen wake and notification screen. You simply turn notifications off when you dont want them, and on before you go to sleep. Does that help?

Thank you for your quick reply. It does not solve my problem as I really need the notifications for phonecalls to come through, but would like all the other notifications muted when I sleep.

[NellyG]

Ahh OK. I misunderstood what you were asking. I thought you said you only wanted notifications when you were asleep but not at other times. There really isnt an easy way to do what you want. You would need to reset your notification preferences in the app every time you go to sleep and everytime you wake up, which could be a tad annoying to do.

If you use Android you can easily select Do Not Disturb mode on your smartphone and allowing phone calls from your starred contacts that can alert your Versa.

In this way no notifications but phone calls will pass through.

Thank you for your advice. My problem is that I'm on duty and do not know who will call me, so that is not an option. I think this would be a nice feature for a later softwareupdate.

In DND mode of Android you can anyway accept call for anyone and silence all other notifications. So this should be what you are looking for.

Ufortunately I'm on iOS.

I needs exactly the same solution. It is available in cheap Chinese and no in fitbit. I do not understand this. I want in sleep mode just turn off the screen backlight gesture. I need notifications when someone calls me.

That is super easy to set up on the iOS, though!

Go to settings, then Do Not Disturb. You (probably) have times set there etc. Scroll down. Phone – Allow Calls From – and set to everyone. Your phone will ring but you won't get any other notifications.

I use android and mean a notifaction on fitbit. Not phone.
