Add again "All day sync" option on Fitbit app for all devices

[nurselizzie]

Why did you take away all day sync? Seems like you just did this, because I just noticed the problem. And for some reason, also doesn't log calories. It is really annoying to have to manually sync when I'm trying to get steps or whatever. It counts them on my device, but won't show up on the fitbit app on my iPhone. Please put this back!

Just bring back the option to turn off all day syncing. The battery in my phone drains extremely fast, since I started using the Fitbit Versa. A manual sync option would be great!

Please reinstate All Day Sync on Charge 3 as I need real time stats available on the Fitbit App. The app screen freezes with a snapshot at one moment in time. This is a new change and I'm not happy about it. Need information available in a format that can be seen by those with less than 20/20 vision.

I don't like the fact that the "all day sync" toggle has been removed. I want the choice. Yes, I could turn off Bluetooth, but then wouldn't get the notifications. What is the point then of having the device I have, if I have to turn the BT off and not receive the notifications bc someone decided to have all day sync as default.

Have Fitbit devices sync without having to physically open up the Fitbit app

[YojanaFitbit]

Hi @nurselizzie, thanks for explaining why you would like to have the option to see "All day sync" so you can decide if you want to keep syncing throughout the day or not. Please take into account that when your phone is near your Fitbit device with Bluetooth turned on, it periodically syncs with the Fitbit app to update your stats and download available firmware updates. Thanks for sharing your feedback. I've moved it into a similar request.  A lot of users are asking for this option, I hope we receive updates soon.

Seems an update removed All Day sync, great my battery last longer, BUT now I have to manually open the app to sync. Can we please have a sync times every 6hrs/12hrs/24hrs?

When all-day sync was an option, I had it off and only synced once or twice a day. Continuous syncing is killing my battery and my Charge HR battery is only lasting a few days when is used to last a week.

Reinstate control over continuous synching of the phone and the Fitbit device so those who don't need this can stop the Fitbit app running down their battery unnecessarily and allow those who do want continuous updates to have them. In other words, by all means make continuous sync the default, but give back the control to the user.

Please restore our ability to turn off all day sync, so the FitBit app running constantly in the background, for functions I don't need or want, doesn't kill my phone's battery life. Will no longer use FitBit until I can turn off All Day Sync.

Give me back to option to turn on or off auto sync. Since taking it away my battery life is on a few days now. Plus I don’t want my watch syncing all day long. Just when I want it to

I had turned off all day sync to save battery and for when I’m doing challenges, to stop people seeing my steps until I finished. I contacted you through Twitter and was given 2 suggestions. 1. To turn off Bluetooth which I can’t do as I have wireless headphones and 2 to completely close the app but I like track my route I take.
