All the Fitbit bands seem to bubble. I have gone through a number of them and resorted to buying from a different company.

Exactly the same with me. When I answer a call the blaze (via iPhone 7) continues to buzz until I hang up or press the button on the left hand side of the blaze

Sorry nothing has worked yet for some of you. I know how frustrating (and infuriating?) it can be. But please don't give up.

Still unable to receive msgs to my Fitbit from my iPhone. Extremely frustrating spending $200+ for a “watch” that doesn’t fully work.

Oh, by the way, Dania in Technical Support told me that this issue has been known since September 20.

My phone updated to iOS 13 in the night, now I don’t get text notifications on my Verse. I went through all of the troubleshooting tips that were suggested and the only thing that worked was to change it so I had messages preview on my phone. I had no issues until the iOS update. The Fitbit update was installed about 4 days before the iOS update installed on my phone. With my profession I am not comfortable with text previews available for all to see on my phone just so I can get texts on my Verse.
I hope this issue is resolved very soon, I really don’t want to have to switch to an Apple Watch.

Did everything twice and still not receiving notification. Even deleted the app and reinstalled. Shut down both Fitbit and iPhone several times. And still nothing. Extremely frustrating!!

Will they provide an update where we don’t have to have message notifications “on” in order for them to work on the watch?

My Fitbit on Google pixel 3 hasn't gotten notifications since August 2019. So frustrating!

Nothing you have posted works. I’ve done everything at least twice. Surely you have to have something that works. My versa isn’t even 6 months old.

Nothing is going to work. Everyone needs to stop wasting their time with these “fixes”. Fitbit does not have a fix! It ridiculous that Fitbit has not communicated about what the issue is and potentially when it might be fixed.
