While I workout on eliptical or on the treadmill, I like to have the Fitbit app up on my iPhone to get realtime heart rate.  Since I just purchased an iPhone 7 recently (used to have 5), it has stopped giving me the realtime heart rate and it is annoying to have to check my HR on the actual watch while I workout. The app only displays my days resting HR.  Is there a way to get realtime HR on the iPhone 7 fitbit app?

Hello @bill34ksc, thanks for joining us, it's great to have you on board! Smiley Happy

 

Currently, the Fitbit app can only show your resting heart rate, it does not show your current heart rate (pulse). I understand your situation and I thinks it's a terrific idea for the tracker to sync constantly to get your current heart rate shown on the app. 

 

I went ahead and found a suggested idea by @MickeyW to implement this feature in a future update. Feel free to add your vote and comment to show your support, this is truly the best way to make your voice heard. 

 

I hope this can be helpful, please feel free to reply in case you need anything else! Smiley Wink
