How to delete apps shown under notifications?

Replies are disabled for this topic. Start a new one or visit our Help Center.

Subject line kinda explains the issue - but under my settings, where you can turn on and off notifications to your Fitbit - I cant delete which apps are listed at all. I no longer have a few of those apps and want to declutter.

Thank you for the reply. That’s for “apps.”

I’m looking to remove phone apps that send you notifications. Not just turn off notifications, but delete the phone app from the list. This is seen under Account > Notifications > App Notifications.

A lot of apps show up that I don’t use and I’d prefer they not be listed and to de clutter that list.

Hello again @GoogMoe 

Is this what you mean? 

Tap the Settings icon. Then navigate to Notification Center, and scroll down to the app you'd like to change the notifications for. In this screen, you can choose the "Alert Style," which can be "None", "Banners", or "Alerts". Banners will appear at the top of the screen, while alerts pop up as a dialog box in the middle of the screen.

Below those options, you'll find on/off switches for a few more things. You can choose whether or not you'd like a badge displaying the number of unread notifications on the app's home screen icon, if you'd like a sound to play, and whether or not you want the alert to appear in Notification Center. In order to completely disable notifications for that app, all of these options must be turned off.

My thought is to log out of the app, hopefully when logging in the list gets rebuilt.

@GoogMoe   The way I understand your question, you are trying to delete apps from this page:

App NotificationsApp Notifications

That, for example, you have deleted the Target app and you want it off this page.  I have had to log out/log in/delete the Fitbit app/reinstall the Fitbit app to do other troubleshooting and it does not change this list.  

 

I don't know if this will work or not my my thought is to sync your tracker so your data is up to date, remove the device from your account, then set it back up again.  The way I understand "how this stuff works" is that you should start with a clean slate for these app notifications.  But a clean slate is a clean slate and you will need to add them back on at a time as you use them again.

Your description is very clear but the other responders don’t seem “to get it”.  I have the same question.  Did you ever find out how to remove obsolete iPhone apps from the toggle list of apps you can choose from that send notifications to your Fitbit?

@Rruss   I'm sorry that you had the no bueno experience.  Every time I switch between devices, I start with a clean slate on the app notification list.  I never removed device from my account, then re-added that same device.  I'm sorry that my suggestion didn't help you.  I don't have any other suggestion to offer.

Thank you very much for the suggestion. It’s an odd thing that the app doesn’t allow for removal. 😕

You should be able to uncheck the app, but I find that logging out/inon the fitbit app clears all the notification settings and I have to set all the notifications up again.

I had the same issue.  I had to remove the Sense from Fitbit and add it again.  The list was deleted entirely.  Problem solved.
