For some reason my app stopped working today but only partially. I can open it, all stats are there and it syncs but when I try to tap on anything (only on the dashboard) such as exercise, the challenge I'm in, steps, etc...nothing works, its as if the screen is frozen. However, I can scroll up and down the screen and I can touch my picture and go to all the other options in the app, it's just the dashboard that is frozen??? Anyone know why? Thanks.
Moderator edit: subject for clarity

Welcome to the Fitbit Community, @Bran424.
I am sorry to hear your app stopped working and seems frozen. I appreciate the additional details and I am here to help. I recommend trying the following:
- Log out from the Fitbit app.
- Verify if the Fitbit app is updated to the latest version. For instructions, see this help article.
- Force quit the Fitbit app.
- Reboot your phone.
- Open the Fitbit app and log back in to your account.
If the issue persists, you may try to uninstall and reinstall the Fitbit app on your phone.
Let me know how it goes, I'll be around.

I have the same issues with my iPhone 11. I get no notifications or calls on it. I have done all the troubleshooting and updating. I have rebooted and reset. Still nothing works.

Is that on the phone app or are you not getting the notifications on your fitbit from your phone?

Welcome to the Fitbit Community, @SunsetRunner. It's nice to see you around, @Bran424.
@Bran424 thank you for your efforts to help!
@SunsetRunner I am sorry to hear you stopped receiving notifications on your Charge 2. I recommend confirming that the notification setting is turned on: press and hold the button on your tracker. Tap to change the setting. You can verify the complete troubleshooting instructions at How do I get notifications from my phone on my Fitbit device?
Let me know how it goes, I'll be around.

When that happened to mine I reset everything, I wiped my watch, deleted the app, and did a full reboot, that worked. Did you try that? Oh and I had to change my message notifications to only show previews when unlocked, don’t know why but that made it work
