I have looked online and I know this is silly but I am one to turn my phone off every night. If I turn my phone off, will my FitBit Flex and my FitBit app on my IPhone sync automatically once my phone is on? My phone battery dies so fast, I try to conserve battery life as I can. And also, if I use the silent alarm feature and my phone is off, will the FitBit still do the silent alarm? Thank you for your help!

Hi @JSanJo welcome to the Community! if on the Fitbit app, you have the "All day sync" activated, as long as your iPhone is on and your tracker is close enough (up to 20 feet) to it, it'll automatically sync. However that feature consumes the battery of your Fitbit Flex and you iPhone more quickly. Now regarding the silent alarms, only if you are going to set a new one or you are going to edit one that is already setting you need to turn the phone on, because you have to sync for the changes to be saved. Otherwise, it doesn't matter, as long as your tracker has battery, the silent alarm will vibrate. In addition, I suggest you to take a look of this article "How do I manage silent alarms". 

 

I'll be around if you have further questions. Robot Very Happy
