Hi @Josie444
Are you iOS or Android?
iOS fix is as follows. I am not an Android user so cannot help you further.
I Am Having Issues with My FitBit Device After Updating to iOS 13 on My iPhone
With the release of iOS 13 permission settings to allow your device to communicate with your phone have changed. If you are experiencing an issue after updating your phone, review the following topics which should solve most issues.
The FitBit app displays the message "Bluetooth is turned off"
iOS 13 requires Bluetooth Sharing to be turned on for the FitBit app.
Below are steps to enable this setting.
From the iPhone, select Settings
Scroll down and select FitBit app
Toggle Bluetooth on
NOTE: For the best user experience with your FitBit device and your phone, the Location setting should be set to Always and all toggles should be set to on.
I Am No Longer Getting Smart Notifications on My FitBit Device
To correct this issue follow the steps below:
Check Bluetooth Settings
From the iPhone, select Settings
Select Bluetooth
Under MY DEVICES select the "i" icon next to your FitBit device
Toggle Share System Notifications to on
Check Notification Settings
From the iPhone Settings, select Notifications
Set Show Previews to either Always or When Unlocked
Under NOTIFICATION STYLE scroll down and select the Messages app
For Messages, toggle Allow Notifications on, ALERTS options should all be checked, and Show Previews must be set to Always (Default) or When Unlocked as show below:
NOTE: With iOS 13, Apple now requires Show Previews be set to Always or When Unlocked to get notifications on any connected device.
