Omg thank your hubby for me!!! I just tried it and it works, sucks the on screen has to be on but I have literally spent so much time on this and Fitbit sucks. They obviously don’t read customer feedback forums.

I have a versa lite and this did happen to me, just FYI. This is not just a Fitbit issue it’s an Apple/Fitbit issue so I do not think getting a different Fitbit will solve your problems.

Are they going to fix #8? We never had to have show previews before to get text messages on our fitbits, and to be honest if this doesn't get fixed I will be exploring other devices, I should not have to have previews on for the worked to see my phone.

yes it does temp solve the issue and show your messages back on your Fitbit BUT we should not have to have that on if we choose not to. I know a lot of times I leave my phone on my desk and I don't want people seeing what is on my phone, Fitbit really needs to look into this and fix it

I completely agree. I will not buy another Fitbit because of how they are handling this and customer service is a joke.
