Option to keep bluetooth connected in background

Hi,

I understand this will drain the battery but having an option will help with the following:

1. Call notifications will be faster instead after a few rings

2. On Android phones, it can then be used as a trusted device...even if its paired now its usually disconnected to save battery so the smart unlock doesnt work

Thanks for sharing this suggestion. I'm glad to let you know that Fitbit already offers an option on Android devices for the bluetooth to stay always connected. If you go ahead and tap on your tracker's icon, tall the way at the bottom you will find this option and this will help to improve the reliability of your tracker syncing, notifications and all bluetooth related connectivity. Please check the screenshots in the comments below.

This is how the "Always Connected" option should look like once you tap on your tracker's icon from the dashboard:
