We are aware of an issue preventing some users from receiving notifications on their iPhone after updating to iOS 13. If you're having trouble receiving notifications and you updated your iPhone or iPad to iOS 13, follow the steps in this article, which are also documented below:
1. GET UP-TO-DATE
- Update the Fitbit app.
- Make sure you installed the latest version of iOS. Tap Settings > General > Software update to see if an update is available.
2. CHECK YOUR BLUETOOTH SETTINGS
- Tap Settings > Bluetooth.
- Tap the information icon
- Turn Share System Notifications off and then back on. If you don't see the Share System Notifications option:
- Restart your Fitbit device. For more information, see How do I restart my Fitbit device?
- Tap Allow when you receive a message on your iPhone or iPad asking if you want your Fitbit device to show notifications.
- Tap the information icon
- Turn on Share System Notifications.
3. CHECK YOUR NOTIFICATION SETTINGS
- Tap Settings in the top-left to return to the Settings page > Notifications.
- Make sure Show Previews is set to Always or When Unlocked.
- Verify the settings for each app that sends notifications:
App | Settings |
---|---|
Calendar |
|
Messages |
|
Phone |
|
All other apps |
|
4. RESTART YOUR PHONE
For instructions, see the Apple help article.
If these steps do not resolve the issue for you, please keep your app up to date, and watch this thread for new information. We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience while our team works to address this.

You won't get any. Androids get ignored. We get told to check a link that they give us, which we've already done to do stuff we've already tried. That's about it.

Did U try ....
On iPhone go to settings - notifications - messages - show previews - when unlocked. You will start getting alerts after that on Fitbit. I have iPhone 11 Max on newest update and it’s working fine this way until they fix it

Those suggestions do not work so probably shouldn’t keep telling customers to do that. What’s been working is....

Not likely, they've provided no help to anyone on Android so far and all we get is a brush off

I have done everything asked of me, but no text messages come through. I do get phone calls. This is very aggravating. What am I doing wrong?

For a company supposedly hard at work resolving the notifications issue, FitBit seems like they are hard at sleep. This is ridiculous to still have this problem. I would be out of business if i ran a company like this.

After trying everything through step 8 I was finally able to get my message notifications again however I am not happy that I can either only get them on my Fitbit when my phone is unlocked or if I have the preview message feature enabled. Hoping this is resolved soon!
