It worked for me! Thank you so much for the tip!
I have mine set to only preview when unlocked and I’m getting my texts on my Fitbit Charge 2 and on my phone without the preview when it’s locked. 😃🙌🏻

I have tried everything and still nothing! I have Flex 2 and it would buzz/vibrate whenever I got a text or call! All notifications are turned on it doesn’t seem like they were turned off with the new update.

This was the only thing that helped me!! I think for those that it is NOT working for are missing the step that I was not understanding, when you are changing the message preview you have to go to MESSAGES not fitbit settings. That fixed it right away for me and then I changed the MESSAGE preview to when unlocked and I am all set.
