When I sleep, I do not have my phone in the bedroom with me. Is that why the app keeps running on the background all night long? Last night between 1 to 7, the app was running on the background for the whole 6 hours!! It’s the only app running during that hour (my phone was on “no disturb”). 
“Background app refresh” is off, notifications is off and all day sync is off. I even turn off location access. What else can I do?

Thank you

Hello and welcome to the Fitbit Community @Tcjy 

First and foremost I apologize for the late response. You can simply log out each night or force shut the app when you go to bed if you like. It is not necessary for the app to be open all day/all night in your phone, you can force-quit it if you're not using it. You can open it when doing tasks like syncing your device or using MobileRun but you can close it afterwards. 

😃 Please let me know if this answers your question. Keep me posted
