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.

|
Phone |
|
All other apps |
|
4. RESTART YOUR PHONE

I Love how I’m getting so many emails on Fitbit advertising new watches and all the sales.

Hey Fitbit!
What’s the intention if there is no solution, in the near future? Fitbit cannot continue to sell devices that do not actually do what they advertise to. I bought a new Fitbit Inspire today and wouldn’t have bothered had I been aware of the ongoing issues.
Fitbit cannot expect consumers to be ok with a no-timeframe apology, when they cannot use their devices as intended. Our devices can’t function as advertised and promised, what will be done about it?
We are all awaiting your comments...

Maybe this is an iPhone problem, something they are doing to force people to buy their products and more updates will cause a shutdown on other notifications 😳😩. Or maybe FitBit just needs to get it together and figure it out! Lol I hope it’s the latter.

Except people with Samsung phones are having the same issue... so it clearly is not just an iPhone thing.

I only have an iPhone so there’s nothing “clearly” about it. But thanks for letting me know it’s the latter; like I’d hoped.
