Setting alarm in the new app

[Sammyantha3]

Today my Fitbit app (IOS) updated to the new interface. I can’t find how to set the silent alarm - is someone able to please point me in the right direction? My device is a Flex 2.

Go to the "Today" screen on the new dashboard and select your profile picture at the top left of the screen. Then, on the next screen, select your device. That should take you to the fitbit settings and the alarms will be there.

Well that’s a bit annoying having to drill into the servings now. I used this feature a lot so the hovering + sign was very convenient. Thumbs down on that deign change.

I agree- this is MUCH less intuitive than the old plus sign. Having to go into device settings each time to change an alarm is a huge step back. Please find some other way to allow access to alarms.

Finally got a simple fix for setting alarms after update. Thank you!

Very much agree ... this is an almost daily function and now I have to dig 2 levels into Profile to set a Silent Alarm. Would love to talk to that UX designer ...

Thanks a lot Steve, I was lost too 😉
Agree, the + was more intuitive but we will get used to this.

The UX designer probably wear an Apple watch ;-D

Lots of steps to go through for something I use twice a day. For some reason when I set from my device it doesn’t always go off. Please fix this

I have to say I really dislike the process in the new app to set silent alarms! Way too many steps. I liked everything better before.

Funny,

Followed the advice on your post. The alarm interface isn’t in the location on any of the apps. 

[SteveH]

@Robkett what fitbit do you have? With some you set the alarm on the tracker itself so there will not be an alarm setting in the app.

Someone else posted the answer and it’s working, thank you.

I did what you said and there was no silent alarm info there.  I tried "How to use" and all they said was set the time and it will wake you but it doesn't tell HOW to set the alarm.  I went to "Apps" and it said the Silent Alarms was installed but no way to do it.  Frustrated.  I had a Charge which was simple to set but not on the Versa 2, at least not for me.

[hsk0526]

So how do you do it on the watch itself?  I can find no instructions for this.

[SteveH]

@hsk0526 On the clock screen of the versa 2, swipe left until you see the Alarms app. Select that and you will see an option for "+ New Alarm"

Thank you!!

Need to set it from the app so I can set an alarm to find my lost fit bit versa

@Admac as that's not possible, you might want to try one of the bluetooth locators mentioned in the help file at https://help.fitbit.com/articles/en_US/Help_article/1188.htm
