I no longer get text notifications on my Fitbit Alta HR since iOS update 11.0. I get calls, but not text. I’ve tried all troubleshooting recommendations and reported issue to fitbit via chat. All notification settings in the app, in iPhone settings, and Bluetooth are set to on. Ive removed the app, removed device, reset the Fitbit, and added it all back on like new. Still have the issue. Please help.

I have tried this solution multiple times and I’m still unable to receive text and call notifications on my Alta. These notifications were one of the main reasons I purchased the Alta. It is so incredibly frustrating. I have an iPhone 8 it’s iOS 11.3.1. Am.ybe it’s fine to buy an Apple Watch.

What worked for me was going settings in my Fitbit app, removing the device and then reinstalling it.

Hello @llwilliams43, have a warm welcome to the Fitbit Community, it's great to have you on board. It's nice to see you around too @Demerson.
@Demerson, I appreciate you have taken the time to share your experience with us, I'm sure your tips will be very helpful for many Community members facing the same situation.
@llwilliams43, thanks for letting me know you have already tried the troubleshooting steps provided earlier. At this moment I would like to ask you to go to your phone Settings > Notifications > Messages and Settings > Notifications > Fitbit and take a screenshot of what you're able to see here. Then, reply to me with both screenshots so I can check this further.
Thanks for your patience, I'll be waiting for your reply.

I have the same problem. My wife’s Alta HR tethered to her iPhone & does not receive either text or phone notifications. My Charge 2 works fine
UPDATE:
Restarting the Alta fixed this problem.

Hi, my text notifications were working beautifully and now they do not. This issue just started for me a few days ago. I've tried forgetting my Alta HR from my iphone 7 plus. Then I restarted. Basically followed your instructions from 2017, which is I guess how long people have been struggling with this issue. Seems like a thing for Fitbits to work really great for a while, and then not. (This is my second Fitbit. "Fool me once, " etc.)
Are there any options or is this one of those "our developers are working on it" situations?

Notifications were working fine on my Alta and iphone6 up until two days ago. I tried all the troubleshooting tips mentioned in this thread with no luck. Please advise!
