Hi @DillyDilly23  which phone and what platform do you use ? It would help us know which forum area would give the best possible response. Let us know.

I'm in the same boat with my versa. I've tried everything but it never vibrates when messages come through, I can see them only if I pull down. The old version you could hold the left button and turn on your notifications but since the update its gone. I have a versa and an android phone. Thank you

I have the same problem, have updated my Versa and my IPhone to IOS 13. 
Text message notifications are not working- I’ve rebooted my watch and phone. Turned off Bluetooth and back on. Other notifications are working -only text messages are an issue

@DillyDilly23 thanks so much for taking the time to troubleshoot the issue you're experiencing with messages no longer coming through after updating your Fitbit Versa. I appreciate the information that you're using the Galaxy S9 phone. Usually a missing requirement is the cause and I recommend confirming the steps to set up notifications in this help article: How do I get notifications from my phone on my Fitbit device? Double check the complete  troubleshooting steps if the issue persists. 

 

@JoThomas111 I appreciate your participation in the Forums and sharing that you're not receiving text messages after updating your Versa and iPhone to iOS 13. Thank you for your efforts to resolve this and for letting me know that other notifications are working.

You can confirm the steps to set up notifications in this help article: How do I get notifications from my phone on my Fitbit device?

I also have not been able to get any sort of notification to my iphone after updating to ios 13. I've done everything including removing Versa from the Fitbit app, reinstalling it, forgetting device through bluetooth, restarting my phone, and checked all notification setting on Fitbit, the app, and phone.

 

I've talked to Fitbit and support from phone company they both said to wait for Fitbit update. But update 4.0 is rolling out to people at different times not open to everyone. So I'll need to wait and if that doesn't fix it I don't know.

Thank you for your reply. However, I have checked the Bluetooth testing and share system notifications is enabled
