Hi I’m new to this, just upgraded my phone to iPhone 7 Plus. Fitbit was working perfectly on my iPhone SE the same day, but now I’ve logged in on my new phone the Fitbit can’t can’t find my device at all. Checked everything, Bluetooth, switched everything off, restarted it all I’ve tried everything but still says device not found. Extremely frustrating. Any help or advice greatly appreciated.

Im sorry to see your having syncing issues. Currently this is a known issue being experienced by some individuals but let’s try a few things to see if that doesn’t get you back up and running again:

If your still experiencing issues try turning your Blaze off then on again: Here’s how:https://help.fitbit.com/articles/en_US/Help_article/1257

 

If your still experiencing syncing issues I would suggest force shut the App and restart. Here’s how:

Turn off your Bluetooth 

log out of the Fitbit App

completely shut down your device, wait 1-2 mins then restart your device 

once your device fully loads enable your Bluetooth again 

now log back into your Fitbit App as you normally would with your email address and password 

now sync your device 

 

Lastly please check your iOS settings if this problem persist and try this:

  1. Open your phone's settings.
  2. Scroll down, tap Fitbit > Toggle Location to "Always".
  3. Ensure toggles next to Bluetooth and Background App Refresh are turned ON.

😃Hopefully these suggestions resolve your syncing issue. Please let me know
