  • I am having the same problem with my fb sense where its asking for nearby permission needed! I opt to 'fix it' but the next screen does not do anything so I need to exit the app. I have not updated the watch or android phone and it was working fine last night. Any ideas please 🙏

Go to Settings -> Apps, scroll down and select Fitbit

 

Scroll to "Permissions" - you sould see a list of permissions under that heading (ours only had "location"). Tap the "Permissions" area. Scroll down, you'll see "Allowed" an "Not Allowed" areas.

 

Under "Not Allowed" scroll to "Nearby Devices" tap that and set it to allowed.

 

Should be good to go.

 

Regards
