Fitbit app is draining my phone's battery

[Amez01]

Has anyone else noticed their fitbit app on their phone is draining the phone battery? Mine has suddenly started using hours of battery life (background usage) 🙄 Does anyone have any tips on things to change?

I haven't noticed anything, but my current phone lasts hours longer than any previous phone. 

With limited phone use, my phone easily goes 24-30 hours

Hi @Amez01 - if you turn off the phone's Bluetooth does it still happen?

It could be related to a syncing problem with the 194.61 firmware version if you installed it in the watch.

If not you can try Logout of the Fitbit App and swipe off the active window and in Android clear the storage cache and force stop it and then restart the phone.

Restart the watch by holding the button for 10 seconds till it vibrates and the logo appears and wait for it to start.

Login and wait for any pair, link or Fixit prompts and sync.

This would refresh syncing and may help the phone if it was struggling.

Thank you, I'll give both of these a go! Hopefully it's just a glitch that will sort itself out
