Update 7/18/2018: Thanks again everyone for your reports. Glad to hear the update has corrected food logging issues for many.

 

If you are still experiencing this issue, we would love to investigate further. The following would help our team review:  

      • Are you already updated to 2.53.1? 
      • What is the OS version that you are running on your iPhone?  
      • What food database are you using?(See Account>Advanced Settings>Food Database).
      • What language are you using the app in? 
      • What foods are you trying to log? 
      • What specific interaction are you doing that is not working? (Adding, editing, deleting, scanning).
      • What time/date did you see the issue? 

We appreciate the additional details. 


 

Fitbit Update 07/16/2018: Hey everyone -- We have just released an update to the Fitbit app for iOS, version 2.53.1 which we believe resolves the issues with food logging that have been reported in this thread. Please update to 2.53.1 and let me know of the results so I can quickly communicate that to our iOS team.

 

Again, thank you for your continued patience as we worked to get this resolved ASAP.


Update 7/15/2018: 

 

Thanks everyone for your patience on this. We sincerely apologize to anyone who has been affected by this issue and have been working hard to find a fix. We are preparing to roll out an update tomorrow, July 16th to solve the problem. In the meantime, customers can use the food logging feature in the web dashboard: https://www.fitbit.com/foods/log.


Update 7/14/2018: We do realize this is a critical issue and our team continues to work on the cause and a fix. We don't provide timelines, in case something occurs and it can't be met, but we hope to have a resolution soon. Thank you again for your patience, reports, and cooperation.


Update 7/13/2018: Hi Everyone - we definitely do hear your reports and frustration on missing and strange food logs. Our engineers are still investigating and I hope to have a resolution shortly. 

  

While not ideal, you can log on Fitbit.com food log and it will populate on iOS correctly once you sync. You can log it here. We appreciate your cooperation. I'll continue to update this thread as I hear more. 


 

Update 7/12/2018: Hi Everyone - thanks again for your reports. We are actively reviewing this issue and I'll continue to update the thread as I hear further. As a workaround you may want to log your food through https://www.fitbit.com/foods/log. As mentioned in @sreid64's post, it will populate the iOS app correctly. Thanks again for your patience and reports. 


 Update 7/11/2018: Hi Everyone - I've merged a few posts together. We are currently investigating issues with food logging on iOS version 2.53. Please continue to monitor this thread for updates. If this is severely affecting your food logging, you may want to log through Fitbit.com. Thank you very much for your reports and patience as we review.

Hello, 

 

I was wondering if there is an update since yesterday in regards to the problems with IOS 2.53 and logging of food?

I haven't updated my iphone; still running iOS 11.31.1 and I am having trouble logging food.  It converts my choice into something else and then others disappear.  Please help.  When will you have a fix?  Why is this happening if we haven't updated anything?

Best Answer

Agreed! Same issue. 

Best Answer

Just another voice chiming in for the record - this issue is becoming very annoying.

Doesn't seem to be totally random though.  Some foods are logged OK, while others are consistently logged as something else entirely.  My cheese was just indeed scanned as cheese, but my crackers came out as crimini mushrooms.  I just rechecked my breakfast, and my granola is still coming out as chocolate whey protein, and blackberries show up as brown eggs.

Hope they fix this soon.

Yep woke up this morning to an automatic update and now all entries are deleted after a few seconds and some are changed to completely new items that I've never even logged before they disappear.

Mine is doing the exact same thing! It is so aggravating. the food either disappears, or I click on a food I frequently log, and suddenly it appears as something else! For example, I tried logging sugar free Red Bull, and it kept adding cranberry redbull into the log. What the heck is going on?

Did you read the previous posts above, including mine which was marked as a solution?

Before posting, re-read to see if it would make sense to someone else not looking at your Fitbit or phone.

I did now, thanks.

Since this morning my food intake is disappearing as quick as I log it! So frustrating! Iv logged into fitbit website and logged it there but it’s not coming up on the app at all. Please fix ASAP

Mine is also doing that, it will add the calories but the item disappears. Or, it puts in a different item and calorie count altogether.  All these issues are very frustrating.

I’m having the same problem.  It allows me to log food correctly on my iPad and computer, but not on my iPhone.

I’m having same problem with my iPhone 6 running latest iOS and latest Fitbit app update. Changing my breakfast items of orange juice and crumpets to chicken teriyaki and my sandwich from greggs to a salt and pepper bagel and tofu?!?!

It’s not a solution - the problem still exists. It’s only a cumbersome workaround. Fitbit should be doing more to solve it quickly even if it’s just reinstating the previous version.

Best Answer

I’m also having the problem with the app not accepting my food or a different food I didn’t enter appearing. Very frustrating 

Best Answer

When I enter food it either disappears or doesn’t input the correct item.

Never mind.
