Bring back "During Sleep" notification setting on Fitbit devices

[virajem]

With Charge HR, Charge 2 and Versa 1, there was a setting that will disable notification when the tracker detects you are sleeping or napping. Unfortunately, someone at Fitbit decided to remove this ever useful and handy option and instead wants us to manually start sleep mode or DND mode. Great for when we know we are going to sleep but what about those occasional nap or getting home too tired and just want to doze off time??! With my old watches I never had to worry but with the "new" Versa 2, I am seeing myself being awaken by the device notifications... so much for a device that want you to sleep well and keep in great health and shape? What happened here Fitbit??! I am not even talking about the bad charger design of the Versa 2.. taking away a near perfect charger and replacing it with something that cannot even sit flat on a table and shorter cable length!! I will live with the bad charger design but I think most of us who have upgraded will like to see you guys bring back the sleep notification setting!!!!!!!!!!

I agree completely with needing the “during sleep” option back. I have been losing sleep due to the notifications I received. If this option doesn’t return I will not be able to sleep with my Fitbit on anymore and will be forced to look at other options. This will mean cancelling my subscription to Fitbit premium.

Really disappointed that this functionality has been taken away - baffling as to why you would take this step backwards Fitbit?  Also very frustrating that we have to collect likes to get such on obviously useful functionality reinstated?!!!

Why do we have to wake the Charge 5 to see why it's buzzing? Show notifications even when asleep, please. Just a glance at the screen should be all that is needed to find out why your tracker wants your attention. At least have the option.

Okay, thanks - can you give a link to the place you moved it to, please?

When sleep mode is enabled it will prevent notifications being sent from your phone. My suggestion is to have the option to allow these notifications through to fitbit.
