Hi
for nearly 2 weeks now I’ve had trouble getting my Fitbit Versa to sync to my iPhone. I have spent ages on instant chat to Fitbit to try to fix the issue and was told that it is a problem since iOS was updated and that the Fitbit app will be updated soon and that should resolve it. The Fitbit app was updated 18 hours ago and now I can’t get my versa to connect at all. What can I do now?

I have an iPhone which is on the list. I’ve tried all of the troubleshooting suggestions and I’ve spoken to Fitbit customer support and they were unhelpful 😕

An update for people experiencing the same issue:
after contacting Fitbit on their instant chat help feature and going through all of the troubleshooting suggestions they have decided to replace my Fitbit Versa as it is within the warranty. Still have not been able to fix it at all.

Hi everyone, it looks like many customers are having syncing issues across the forums right now. I contacted Fitbit CS on chat, and they said that their engineers are aware and actively working on the issue. They recommended to try again in a few hours.
