I've upgraded my phone yesterday and initially the phone (iPhone SE) could 't locate my fit bit, checked on my Fitbit account and it was syncing on their either.
Anyway I reset my Fitbit, turned phone on and off and Bluetooth on and off and it seemed to work. Woke up this morning and the same problem is happening again?? Help!!!!

Hello @SunsetRunner, thanks for taking the time to reply!
By any chance do you still have your old phone? It's possible that your tracker is still connected to the old phone Bluetooth, which is preventing your Alta from syncing with your new phone. If that's the case, please:

Hello @SunsetRunner, I hope you're having a great day, it's nice to see you around.

If these steps don't seem to work, let's try to set up your tracker as a new device to restart the connection between your phone and your tracker. Don't worry, this won't delete any of the information stored in your account so far.
To set up your tracker as a new device:

Hi, having a good day thanks, hope you are too!
Tries both those options and neither worked. I've deleted the app, reinstalled it and disconnected my Fitbit but now it won't even recognise there's a Fitbit close by, it seems stuck on looking. I've tried turning my Bluetooth on and off but it doesn't help??

I have an iPhone SE as well. I am having no luck connecting my Alta HR.
I have:
reset my Fitbit by pressing the button on the charging cord 3 times.
deleted the app
restarted my phone
re downloaded the app
turned off the Bluetooth for 15 sec and turned it back on.
Updated my phone to the most current iOS
No luck! I am open to suggestions.
