Fitbit Update 5/5

I have great news!  We have pushed out a fix in the latest version (2.22.1) that resolves this problem. Click here to be redirected to the iOS App Store. Thanks for bringing this issue to our attention.

Fitbit Update 5/1
It was recently pointed out that some iOS users are missing their sync progress bar and battery indicator on their dashboard after updating to Fitbit iOS App version 2.22. In order to investigate this issue, can you please provide the following information:

 

  1. What type of iOS device are you using?
  2. What iOS version is it running (ie iOS 9.3, iOS 8, etc)?
  3. Does the problem persist after logging out of the App and then back in?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Rebooting fixes it on my iphone5, but also only temporarily.  It started happening frequently for me after the most recent app update. It seems very strange that even after a reboot, it changes the screen layout after a while.   what's up with that?

 

It'll be great when there's a fix that lasts available.   Where is fitbit support staff on this issue?

This is happening on my Charge HR as well! Is this only on iPhones, because I have a 6. I have rebooted the phone, this helps temporarily and logged out and back into the fitbit mobile app, also a temp fix. The information is available under the "account" screen, but I am used to the it being on the dashboard too and don't like having to switch back and forth. I agree with another poster, where is the support team on this topic since it doesn't seem to be random. Any help coming fitbit????? Please???!!!

So I have to log out and back in every time for it to show up that's not efficient! They shouldn't have taken that feature out with this update.

I have had this problem since updating to Fitbit app. v. 2.22. I'm using an iPhone 6 which is running iOS 9.3.1 (again Fitbit app. 2.22). If I log out of Fitbit app., close it, reopen it, and sign back in, the problem seems fixed but it happens again within a couple of hours. I've done that more times than I can count and it's incredibly annoying!

Mine was Doug the same. Fixed after logging out & back in.

My wife's iPhone 6 (iOS 9.3.1) is experiencing the same issue. As stated logging out and back in is a temporary fix only. Hopefully the posts regarding this will assist Derek's (Fitbit Moderator) investigation into this issue. It's very frustrating so a quick resolution would be welcomed!

@MarmaladeToast I've moved your post from the feature request board to this thread. This is a known bug that our team is currently investigating. 

 

So far I've seen instances of logging out of the Fitbit App and then logging back in help, as well as restarting your iOS device.

Lastly, if you could answer the questions in my lead-in post it would be a huge help!

Having to exit and relaunch the app is an annoying inconvenience. Here are my responses to your questions:

What type of iOS device are you using? iPhone 6s Plus
What iOS version is it running (ie iOS 9.3, iOS 8, etc)? iOS 9.3.1
Does the problem persist after logging out of the App and then back in? No. Exiting and relaunching brings the tile back.

I am running iOS 9.3.1 on an iPhone 6 Plus. The "Charge HR" bar and the ability to live sync disappears once or twice a day now. The steps, etc., don't update as I walk and heart rate only shows the resting HR, no live HR. Closing and opening the app doesn't help. I have to turn my phone off and then back on.

I recently received a new HR recently, all information transfered, but the battery level no longer appears on my phone.  I checked all sections on my profile and data, but see nothing to help me.  How can I get that back?

You can go to the account tab to see the tracker tile that should show your battery level. You can also close down your app then open it again and that should reset it to show the tracker tile on your dashboard. There's something wrong with the new app update that was sent out, but no word yet on when it will be acknowledged by Fitbit or fixed.

The banner at the top of the dashboard on my iPhone 6S keeps disappearing. The banner that says Charge HR then shows battery level and whether you are connected or when it last synced. If you shut down the app then reopen it it reappears but will disappear again. Any suggestions?

It works for awhile then the sync and battery level disappear again

I have had this problem also on my iPad, after the Fitbit app was updated to version 2.22 on April 28.  It appears to be an intermittent problems, sometimes the device status line is there when I open the app and sometimes the device status line is missing.
