Versa 3 connectivity and battery issues after the update

[Hannah808]

I’ve updated my Fitbit Versa 3 (don’t know what version, Jan 2022) and it’s awful. It keeps losing connection with my phone, I have to reconnect Fitbit to phone almost daily now. Also for some reason I think it drains the battery more?

Hi there, @Hannah808. Welcome to the Community Forums. Thanks for the details provided in your post about the issue with your Versa 3.

If you haven't done so yet, please try removing the Bluetooth connection between your phone and your Fitbit device:

*On your phone, tap Settings > Bluetooth > the information icon next to the name of your Fitbit device > Forget This Device.
*Open the Fitbit app and set up the connection again. You should receive a message asking you to allow your Fitbit device to pair with your phone. Tap Pair to approve the request.

Sync your Versa 3 automatically when you open the Fitbit app or manually by tapping your profile picture > your device tile > Sync Now.

If you continue having connectivity issues, please see Why won't my Fitbit device sync? 

As for the battery, I'd suggest following the tips and recommendations provided here Can I extend my Fitbit device's battery life?

Hi there, I know how to do this but surely I shouldn’t have to do this daily? This is since I’ve updated my phone.
