I keep getting spammed with this message as of today on my iPhone.
Location tracking workout gps bla. No thanks or Open setting. I say no thanks but keep getting spammed when I re visit the app. My setting allow fit bit to use Bluetooth and location.

Welcome to the Fitbit Community, @FairDice.
I appreciate your participation in the Forums and sharing that you're getting spammed with the message you receive about the Location Services. Thank you for providing the additional details, I understand how you are feeling and I am glad to assist you. I recommend confirming the following on your phone:
- Open Settings > Privacy.
- Tap Location Services and make sure it’s turned on.
- Find Fitbit in the app list, and make sure that Allow Location Access is set to Always.
Please also force quit the Fitbit app, restart your phone and reopen the Fitbit app. For more information about GPS, see How do I use GPS on my Fitbit device?
Keep me posted on the outcome. I'll be around if you have any additional questions.

I have the exact same problem. Fitbit is spamming me with gps messages. The OP like me does NOT want to give location access to Fitbit always. So I’m not sure why you are asking him to set it to ON Always. I force quit the app and restarted my iphone and it is not helping.

Hello,
I'm having the same issue after a few months of the app working perfectly fine. I don't want to turn on the location service, is there any other way to stop receiving these annoying messages? Thank you.

I don’t want it to be always on and I shouldn’t get spammed for it.

So the solution that worked for me was to delete the app and reinstall it. I was originally hesitant to do this but it went without a hitch and my problem disappeared.

If anyone else can validate this, that would be great. I've left Fitbit.
