The Apple FitBit app was updated overnight, but since that I am continually getting a message (eventually) to say that "We are unable to update / install one or more apps.  Please try again".   The communication between the fitbit device and the app seems to be fine so I am not sure what this is referring to.   What do I need to do?  Is this a glitch with the update?   Thanks

I have been having the exact same message since yesterdays update. I've no idea what isn't updating or how to fix.  Maybe its a software error within the app and they will update it to fix the error message.

I’m also having the same issue since the update - very annoying. Please help or fix Fitbit!

I receive the same message, even when the app isn’t open, it shows on my phone’s lock screen. (Can’t get the screenshot to upload)

I updated my iOS in settings/general/software update and then deleted and reinstalled the Fitbit app. So far that seems to have worked 

Best Answer
Sorry, I cannot screen shot as security protocols I have running on the phone block this functionality. However they do not affect the running of the app itself - in case you thought this might be contributing to the problem.

I can confirm that I have both restarted the phone, and I have reinstalled the app, neither of which have remediate the issue.

Please help - it is really annoying

Thanks

I am having the same issue.   

 

I did send a screen shot of what it keeps saying in an email this am.   Also did try turning the phone off and then restarting and still its happening.  Seems since I got the Charge 3 I have had many issues that still arent resolved.

Hi everyone - thanks for posting about this. I have alerted the team. Can you confirm if you log out and log back in it still returns?

I can confirm that logging out and back in again doesn’t change the situation.

Logging out and in again didn’t make any difference I’m afraid
