Just tried all of these on my iPhone 6s and nothing works. Still no notifications.  App Store does not have an update tab so how do I update the Fitbit app?

Is the Fitibit ionic not compatible with the iPhone 11 Pro?  I can't get my steps to sync.

I’ve run into many problems since I’ve had my Versa. After many times following troubleshooting recommended steps that didn’t work I delete my FitBit and set it up as new.  Solves it every time.

This works however, I want the privacy back.  With toggling on preview, once your phone unlocks, the text messages are shown.  This was never the case in the past.  Yes, I receive notifications now to my charge 3 but I want to keep the preview on my phone hidden.  Any fixes yet?

Best Answer

I uninstalled it and reinstalled it and I also restarted my fitbit. Please
see below. The other thing I did was change notifications for text
messages from never show on locked screen to always show. That prompted
text messages to appear on my Fittbit, but I then changed the settings back
to what they were because I don't want message to show up on my locked
screen.

if you don’t see an update, you probably have the latest update already. 
did you try deleting the app and reinstalling it? And also your Fitbit?

Updated to ios 13- have been following all instructions on the app, tried factory reset, tried deleting app and reinstall, tried EVERYTHING- STILL no notifications. I bout the Versa so I would have notifications, apple watch is looking real tempting right about now.

When you go to the App Store now, there is a little blue circle towards the
top on the right. If you click on it, it should be your account. Then you
can scroll down. It’s pretty dumb how this updated as well

I deleted my Fitbit app and downloaded the Fitbit update from yesterday 9/30 and somehow that fixed it. I was trying for over a week and nothing worked with my Ionic. Hopefully someone else has the same luck as me.

I’ve already followed these steps and nothing is happening you people better do something about this already plus there are no updates for this in the Apple app settings so do something already it’s getting aggravating

The odd thing is that my old iPhone 7, which is updated to iOS 13 (but not connected to cellular) still receives data although my new iPhone 11 does not. Guess I’ll compare settings on the two to look for a difference. (I’ve already updated the Fitbit software, restarted the Fitbit and the phone just isn’t finding the Fitbit today although it did yesterday after updating to iOS 13 on Sunday!)
