Versa 3 won't sync properly anymore

Replies are disabled for this topic. Start a new one or visit our Help Center.

My Fitbit rarely syncs on its own anymore. I have shut down my Fitbit, turned Bluetooth on and off, and searched for updates etc. But I still have to force it to sync,and even then sometimes it won't. What is going on?

Hi there, @Cheermombeckyb. Thanks for stopping by in the Fitbit Community Forums. It's sad to hear that your Versa 3 is still not syncing properly despite all the steps you've tried so far. I'll be glad to help you with this. 

In addition to the steps you've done so far, please try the following:

  • Unpair your Fitbit device from your phone's Bluetooth and Fitbit app.
  • Unpair other Bluetooth devices that you may also have paired to your phone's Bluetooth settings.
  • Force quit the Fitbit app.
  • Turn off other Bluetooth connections when not in use. This can help to prevent connectivity issues or Bluetooth interference.
  • Shut off your phone and turn it on after 1-2 minutes.
  • Turn on the Bluetooth on your phone.
  • Plug it into the charging cable and open the Fitbit app.
  • Set up your Fitbit device.
  • If there is no connection, restart your Fitbit device.
  • Once your Fitbit device is paired and syncing, please proceed to set up your other Bluetooth devices to your phone again. 


With the steps above, what I want you to do is to pair your Versa 3 first to your phone's Bluetooth settings before any other Bluetooth device is connected to your phone. 

Before trying the above, please be aware that most Fitbit devices store up to 7 days of detailed minute-by-minute data. If you wait longer than 7 days before syncing, you may only see the most recent week's detailed data. Summary data (calories, distance, steps, and floors) will be stored for 30 days. Nevertheless, if your Fitbit device was unpaired from your Fitbit account during this period of time, neither the 7 days can be recovered or restored.
