New unnanounced Versa 4 Firmware Update 207.52 after 194.86

[Guy_]

Has anyone installed the next firmware update after 194.86?

The prompt in the Fitbit App to install the new firmware doesn't mention what version it is, or your current version.

The current version can be found in watch Settings, About Versa 4, System info

Until there has been an official announcement of what this update does or removes, it may be preferable to wait, especially if you already have ongoing issues.

To avoid disappointment or extra work, hoping a firmware change resolves ongoing issues may only actually compound the problems, generally it is best to resolve any issues first.

Yes, I updated my Versa 4 to 61.20001.207.52 a few days ago. It included the YouTube Music app. I have not noticed any other changes.

(Hence my Spotify request a few days ago.... 😛)

@erlendKanne - Hi thanks for responding with useful feedback.  - just to clarify, do you see it as an app (downloadable) or as a watch built-in feature?

The difference being you can use it without stopping whatever other clock or app is running on the watch, similar to the Music controls builtin on older watches.

I have not tested it, but it seems to be just a normal, preinstalled app. Downloadable (and "uninstall-able") through the app gallery. 😊

When will I get it?

I just Updated my Fitbit to the latest update? But what got added/fixed in this update?

Hi @MoDaBro - I moved your post here which deals with the new firmware. Can you confirm you received 207.87 not 207.52.

Feel free to add your findings as nothing has been announced officially.

My Fitbit still shows 194.86,  BUT just today it has started showing an always on digital display which I never selected and can't find a way to shut it off. Also, I receive phone call and text notifications even though I have them turned off in settings.

Hi @keyesh - did you try pull down on the watch face to get to Quick Settings and adjust the icons accordingly?

If that is not working, with the watch display on hold the watch button for 10 seconds till the display blanks or it vibrates, release and wait for the logo to appear and it to start and try changing the icons again.

If still a problem, try in the Fitbit App device page Add more devices and select your watch and replace, it might just avoid having to sync and factory reset.

I haven’t received it yet.  I heard that a factory reset of your device can sometimes force it, but I think I will wait.

Thanks Guy.  Silly me, I had been searching the settings in the app. It has Versa 4 settings, but not all of them. Typical Fitbit.  Found it on the watch and shut down "always on". I still don't understand why it suddenly started doing that, but again - typical Fitbit.

Thanks again!

I didn't get it yet. I have the fitbut versa 4

I got another update about a week ago, to version 207.87.

Not sure if it is new or if it was there before, but I just noticed a "Screen Zoom" setting on the watch after the update.
