Every time I open the application on my phone I get a reminder "Location Access & Bluetooth Sharing." The reminder tells me to set location access to "Always" to track exercise with GPS.

 

I do not want my electronic devices always to track my location. Furthermore, I do not want to be pestered with reminders every time I open the application.

 

How do I turn this reminder off?

Welcome to the Fitbit Community, @Carruje.

 

Thank you for the information provided.

 

Currently, the only way to avoid the pop up request is having Allow Location Access set to Always. These permissions are a requirement for Fitbit to access some features and connect with your phone.

 

For information about why the Fitbit app is prompting you to turn on location services please visit this article.

 

There is a feature suggestion called "Remove location access pop up on the iOS Fitbit app". You are welcome to vote it and if there is any update it should be be communicated as soon as possible.

 

See you around.
