Hello @firemedc and @Lauraescott, it's great to see you in the Community, it's a pleasure to say hi to new members!
As @Kmransom123 mentioned, there's currently an issue with iOS 10.2 that's preventing the Blaze from syncing with the Fitbit app. Our team is currently working to find a prompt and proper solution, thank you for your patience and understanding.
Keep me posted in case you need anything else! ![]()
Best AnswerI hope they are able to find a solution soon. Since my Blaze won't stay connected to my iPhone anymore, that means my alarms aren't going off in the morning and it's becoming an issue far bigger than not being able to sync steps. Having the alarm on my wrist was one of the features I use the most in the phone because it allows me to get up at 5:30 without a loud alarm going off on my phone and waking my husband up.
Best AnswerDon't bother emailing the "support" about this they'll just send you an article about how to charge your tracker. As if it's rocket science and not a coincidence that it started since the Blaze can't sync to the app.

Hello @mamiller2014, @HayleyH, @CBaby2513, @Courtneynolley and @Benhpu. It's nice to see new faces around, welcome!
As I mentioned before, there's currently an issue with iOS 10.2 and the Blaze, our engineers are aware of this issue and are rapidly working on a fix. In the meantime it's possible to sync your Blaze by removing the Bluetooth bond between your phone and your tracker. However, other functions (Connected GPS, Notifications, and Music Control) will not function because bond between tracker and mobile device has been removed.
To remove the bond, please go to the Bluetooth settings on your phone and check if Blaze is on the list of paired devices, if it is, tap on it and select Forget this Device, then restart your phone. Your tracker should be able to sync.
I appreciate your patience, we're looking forward to get you back on track as soon as possible, let me know in case you need anything else!
Best AnswerJust saw there is an update to fix the sync problem for the blaze. I go start the process and the progress bar freezes about halfway across and it shuts down. I have restarted my phone and my watch and nothing changes.
any help?
