Versa Lite won't update or download apps

[Aegon159]

My Versa Lite isnt able to install most apps despite being fully updated due to it "not having the latest update." I am on firmware 38.33.1.30 but the app does not allow me to update so im assuming this is the latest.

Hi there @Aegon159, welcome to the Community Forums. Thank you for the details provided in your post and for taking the time to verify that you have no pending updates to install. I'll be glad to help you to download apps on your Versa Lite. 

Note that in order to install certain apps or clock faces, your watch must be updated to the latest Fitbit OS 4.1.3 (32.70.8.0) and the Fitbit app on your phone to 3.24. If you just bought the Versa Lite and it still has an old version, this is the reason why you cannot download certain apps yet. 

That said, leave on all-day sync and let the Fitbit app run in the background on your phone, which allows a small portion of the firmware update to download to your Fitbit device each time you sync. To check that all-day sync is turned on: In the Fitbit app, tap the Today tab > your profile picture > your device image > confirm All-Day Sync is on. 

Also, I wondered if the mobile device you're syncing with is included in our list of supported devices? You can see the list at: Which phones and tablets can I use with my Fitbit watch or tracker?

Fitbit products are compatible with most devices that have the following operating systems: Apple iOS 12.2 and higher, Android OS 7.0 and higher.

Please keep in mind that when a device is not supported and does not meet the require OS we cannot guarantee its functionality with the Fitbit app. It might work at a certain time and then it can stop working out of nowhere after an update. This is because the app is not optimized to that device and any change could impact the performance.
