Charge 3 now repeatedly asking to share bluetooth and location access. No thanks you. Fitbit, please respect my answer!  Any ideas how to keep from being harangued about this?

I think I found the issue.  Look at your list of exercises.  Some, like walking, may have track GPS turned on. I had it for walking, running and one other.  I have turned them all off.  

 

Edit: And no. That doesn’t work.

Has a fix ever been found for this? Just started happening to me yesterday and it's driving me crazy. Every time I leave the app and then come back I get asked. Bluetooth is on. Notifications off. Location set to never.

If your location is set to never, you will be seeing this notice. The app needs location for the GPS. 

The fux is to give the app permission to locations.

I don't use any features that need GPS. Also it started when this setting was turned on. I was just following advice others had offered. Seems this issue has cropped up again recently. Lots of new posts in other threads.

Fitbit now requires location access to sync the tracker. Im not sure why in iOS but in Android it was a change in Android 6 that Android made.
