Update 12/5/2018: I'm sorry to hear some users are still not receiving notifications on iOS 12. We continue to monitor this issue and are working on a resolution. If you haven't already, please try toggling bluetooth on/off and ensure your Apple device is up to date.
Fitbit Update: 10/17/18

You guys, I have no clue how but I was just messing with the text notifications on my iPhone 8+, and I am now able to receive texts on my Alta!
This is what I have it set to:
Go to: Settings, Notifications, Messages
Make sure Allow Notifications is on
Under Alerts, make sure Notifications Center is checked.
I do not have Lock Screen or Banners checked.
Does this work for anyone else???

So my previous fix stopped working. Ugh. But I just made sure Lock Screen is checked along with Notification Center and it’s working again. For now. Ugh.

Tried that too, didn’t work. It only stopped working once I downloaded the iOS 12 software.

Please advice us in some sort of resolution. It is November and and like many others I may just have to return my fitbits as faulty not being compatible to the IOS 12 on iPhones.

It's over a month since you posted the fact that fitbit are investigating the problems with iOS 12. The most recent update of the app does not improve the problems of lack of notifications. Whilst I appreciate the difficulties caused by the introduction of changes made by apple this delay in coping is hardly acceptable

Any updates on this? I still am not receiving text messages on my fitbit blaze. Incoming calls now show up but nothing for text messages.

Simply nothing is happening. I’m returning my fitbit to the store later this week and replace with Apple Watch

Guess your FitBit is rather new? Mine is at leaset a year old (but I think this model is two) - I had a warranty one sent to me within first year.

This situation is very frustrating. It’s been several weeks since I’ve received notifications on my phone and still no resolution from Fitbit.
