I found a way to change the notifications in the recently updated Fitbit app. I couldn't log into the app for almost a week. After I was finally able to log in again, it appeared that all my previous settings had been reset and there was no way to change them. As a result, I was no longer receiving text message, email or calendar notifications. Calling support was a waste of time.
I allowed permissions for the app using the setting on my phone. No difference.
Checking the settings in the app, I could not find any way to change notifications. Under "manage access to account," it showed no apps under "connected apps." Going to "manage connected apps" lead me to a dead screen that did not allow return to other areas of the app. I had to close the app and restart.
Everything I read online said to click on your photo icon in the app to get to the area for personalization, including changing watch faces. However, that photo icon no longer appears on the app, and there is no way to update anything by going on the Fitbit website.
I was beyond frustrated. However, I happened to click on the battery percentage icon on the upper left corner in the app, and that appears to be where the personalization and permission options have gone!
After clicking on the battery percentage icon, it goes to the a "Connected to Fitbit" page. By then selecting your device, it goes to a page that lists "Notifications" under General at the bottom. Clicking on "Notifications" allows you to select text messages, calendar, emails and app notifications. Only "Calls" has a slider selection option, but by clicking on text messages, etc., it goes to a new screen that shows the slider has moved to "On."
Since doing that, I am getting most of my messages and some calendar notifications. I'm not getting notifications from all the text messages, and I don't know why.
This overall experience has led me to order a different smart watch, which is arriving today. I hope to have better luck with something else.
