Has something changed in the app for charge 3?
I all the time lose bluetooth connection with my Iphone.
And the setting for location tracking (gps) is gone.

Hi there @MaaikeBauwens, welcome to the Community Forums. 

If you haven't done so yet, please try removing the Bluetooth connection between your phone and your Fitbit device:

*On your phone, tap Settings > Bluetooth > the information icon next to the name of your Fitbit device > Forget This Device.
*Open the Fitbit app and set up the connection again. You should receive a message asking you to allow your Fitbit device to pair with your phone. Tap Pair to approve the request.


Sync your Charge 3 automatically when you open the Fitbit app or manually by tapping your profile picture > your device tile > Sync Now.

If your Charge 3 doesn't sync, follow the troubleshooting provided in this help article: Why won't my Fitbit device sync? 

Regarding the location services, is it gone on your iOS device? You can try doing the following on your phone:

  1. Open Settings > Privacy.
  2. Tap Location Services and make sure it’s turned on.
  3. Find Fitbit in the app list, and make sure that Allow Location Access is set to Always.


I've moved your post to iOS App board for organization purposes.
