I’m using iPhone 7 iOS 11 and I have tried connecting New Ionic Fitbit through Bluetooth. It connects for a few seconds and disconnects continually - I have turned off phone, turned off Bluetooth, disconnected device, downloaded app again.  Nothing seems to solve the problem.  The ionic is tracking steps etc on the watch but cannot transfer information to phone!!!  Any suggestions please

Hi @JohnK49. I'm so sorry to hear of your problems with IOS 11 and the Ionic but happy you found us here in the forums. Unfortunately, Fitbit is not the only app having troubles trying to keep up with all these IOS updates. The best I can suggest is this:

  • Make sure your IOS and the Fitbit app are both updated to the latest versions. 
  • Remove the Ionic from your app, then delete your Fitbit app. In the iPhone settings, go to Bluetooth and "forget" the Ionic. 
  • Power the phone off. Restart the Ionic. Instructions are here
  • Then, re-install the Fitbit app and add the Ionic. 

Please let us know if this does the trick.

From JohnK49
Did as you suggested - not sure if app is totally updated but has been updated whenever it was offered in updates - problem still persists- connects to Bluetooth for a few seconds - twice today for long enough to update the data - e.g. steps on ionic says 5330 while in app on phone is 3963 - it may update sometime again today but not satisfactory

All I can suggest, other than to contact Support is to try the steps I outlined below. Often it is not what you do, but in what order you do them. The steps below should help get everything in sync.
