Since downloading ios15 every time I open my Fitbit app it requests that I pair my versa 2 to my phone. Also noticed that I have to charge it twice as often now. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks!

Hi there, @Monabert.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. Because this shouldn't be happening, please try reconnecting your Versa 2 to your account from scratch by following these steps in the giving order:

  1. Remove your Versa 2 from the Bluetooth settings.
  2. Turn off other Bluetooth connections nearby.
  3. Force quit the Fitbit app and reboot your phone.
  4. Restart your watch to refresh its performance.
  5. Open the Fitbit app, tap your profile picture > Set Up a Device.
  6. Select your Versa 2, tap Replace Device and follow the on-screen instructions.

About your other question, please note the battery life will depend on how frequent certain features are used such as GPS or SpO2 tracking. I'd suggest trying the tips described in this help article to maximize the battery life, fully charging your watch with the original charging cable and monitor its behavior in the next days.
