Since getting an IPhone 8, my paired Alta no longer lets me know when I have a call or a text. I’ve tried removing the device from my Bluetooth settings and re-pairing it. No luck. Help please.

Hi, @Mamalewlew, removing it from your phone's bluetooth setting is a good first step, but you must do the re-pairing via the Fitbit app, not the phone's Bluetooth settings.
Once deleted from your phone's bluetooth settings, go to your Fitbit app and find the Alta screen and follow the instructions to set up there. You should get a prompt that pairing is required, say yes, and follow the instructions. Hopefully that will get you all back set up again. Let us know how you get on.

Somehow it started working. Not sure exactly what did it but I’m ok (for now).
