My issue is not resolved. I still can’t get text messages on my Fitbit. I can get calls and reminders but no text.

Hasn’t made any difference (setting Alert Tone)

No it didn’t. All of this started happening after the iOS 12 update and the Fitbit update. I’m just not sure which one messed it up.

If I upgrade to the new iOS 12.1.4 will everything continue to work perfectly?

Just out of curiousity what device are you using? I have an Ionic, all settings are correct. Texts work and go away for 2 days and than come back and go away again. 

 

Appreciate it!

Please clarify....so you upgraded your iOS to the 12.1.4 and didn't have any issues with your text, calendar, and calls still coming to your Fitbit device?

Before updating to IOS12.1.4 all notifications was working fine on my fitbit, including text notificaitons. After I did the update, I no longer get text notifications on my fitbit. My calls and reminders work but not the text notifications.

 

UPDATE:

I have the Iphone X and the Fitbit Versa. My text notifications have not came back at all. It's been two weeks.

Hello @debdebdebdeb, thanks for joining the Fitbit Community. It's nice to see you around @sunshine675@vsseym@Marycassady@johnt11

 

Please note that if you have already gone to Settings > Notifications > Messages and have set a tone for Alerts like in the screenshot:

 

TextNotifications.png

 

Please restart your phone afterwards and check if you start receiving text Notifications on your device. If you're still not receiving them, restart Notifications again:

  • Tell your phone to "forget" your device, removing the connection between the phone and the Fitbit device. 
    1. On your phone, go to Settings > Bluetooth and find your Fitbit device in the list.
    2. Find an option to forget the devices
  • Open the Fitbit app and set up notifications again.

I hope this can be helpful, please give these steps a try and keep me posted in case you need anything else.

So weird.   I already had that set.  So over the last 2 days, I've turned so many things off then on again , on both phone and fitbit and fitbit app. Nothing.  So after your message I decided to make sure everything was turned on.  I had to turned on  banners under messages>fitbit ( wished I paid more attention) on my phone.  notifications and lock screen was already on. turned phone off and on - yea a message came through.  I wish IOS update would leave setting alone.  THANKS
