I have tried all of the various suggestions posted to try to connect my brand new Alta HR to my iPhone7 via Bluetooth. It still will not connect. Very frustrating!

I appreciate you have let me know you have already tried the troubleshooting steps I've provided earlier. Tell me, which tracker are you currently using? Which iPhone model are you using to set up your Fitbit device? Have you updated the OS on your phone and the Fitbit app recently? Which other troubleshooting steps have you tried so far? This information will be very helpful for me to determine what should we do next. 

 

Thanks for your patience and understanding, I'll be waiting for your reply.

Hello @jacomijntje, it's a pleasure for me to welcome you to the Fitbit Community, I hope you're having an excellent day. Smiley Happy

 

Please keep in mind that the Fitbit trackers do not sync directly through the Bluetooth on your phone, they use the Fitbit app to connect and sync with it. If your Alta HR is not able to pair to your phone, please restart it and leave it plugged in, making sure it's charging. Then, restart your iPhone, update the Fitbit app if necessary and try to set up your tracker as a new device once again. 

 

To set up your tracker as a new device:

  1. Make sure there are no other Bluetooth devices around that might interfere with the set up process. 
  2. Make sure you have a strong Wi-Fi signal
  3. Open the Fitbit app and tap on the Account symbol at the top right corner of the screen, then tap on "Set up a New Device"
  4. Choose your tracker and follow the onscreen instructions to continue
  5. When (or if) the app asks you to replace your current tracker, please replace it and continue with the process.

I hope this can be helpful, give it a try and keep me posted in case you need anything else!
