Let us delete in-app notifications/messages

This is clogging up my iphone. I have a year or more worth of useless Fitbit notification messages I'd like to shed. I saw a 'solved' notice in here from a year ago stating it was resolved by stating there is no solution. This is simply ignoring the myriads of request/votes of customer requests/concerns to fix it. Fitbit should have had a REAL solution by now and apparently do not. In reality this problem has not been resolved but simply is being ignored by the company/moderator. The solution 'solved' to put a vote in ideas does not address the real concern or issue at hand. What's the point of a community forum if Fitbit does not listen to its customers? The thread should have flagged Fitbit/moderator to produce a real fix, we're still waiting.

I totally agree. Unfortunately fitbit doesn't seem to give a darn about its consumers.
Time to get a different brand or just delete app and keep track manually.

It does not seem like it should be so difficult to give us a way to swipe left, right, up, down to just get rid of them-- or never see them at all.  I don't think any of us need all those "atta boys!"

Agree.
I guess fitbit doesn't care what we think or want, as I have never heard any response to all of these emails.

Please fix the notifications center on the Alta HR to allow deletion or automatically delete after 10 days.

Please delete the Notifications altogether in the Fitbit app. Totally unnecessary, in my opinion.

Agreed. Annoying at a minimum. Please add the delete notifications feature to all versions of the app as they take up space on all devices......desktop, phones, tablets, etc. Some may like the occasional notification, however it is clear that many despise the feature. Allowing us to delete these messages at a minimum would be a HUGE step forward!

When my Fitbit Flex dies I won't replace it with another Fitbit of any kind. I am incensed that there are months  and months of unwanted notifications sitting on my iPhone. Fitbit doesn't care and refuses to fix the problem. Thank goodness there are other companies that sell fitness trackers. I look forward to getting rid of old Flex.

This should not take long to code. It would make notifications more meaningful if when you went there you see new notifications and how many you recently got not everything you ever got. DELETE OLD NOTIFICATIONS
