Settings on iPhone wants Fitbit app to run the background all the time

If anyone else has this problem let me know why it needs to run in the background.  Also have a issue if my sleep syncing properly. I sync everyday with Health Insurance and they are not getting my information.

For one thing, it cannot sync if it is not running, at least in background.  If you don't care if it syncs, you might get away with leaving it closed.

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

Thank you for the information, I definitely have had no problem with this
until now when I purchased an iPhone. Learning in the process.

Without running in the background, you will not get notifications and apps like weather, and find my phone will not work.
