I agree and now that Google is buying Fitbit, it makes me think I wasted my money and will have to jump to Apple. Sad.

I too have tried everything to get my text message notifications to work again. The only way they will work is to turn messages to preview always, showing my whole text message to the world. Unfortunately, that is not an option for me. So I relied on my fitbit to send me an alert when I received a text. Is this problem ever going to be fixed? I really don't want to spend the money for an apple watch. Or want to go with something as big as an apple watch either.

Changing the setting on my iphone for Messages to Show previews seemed to correct this issue. However this really goes against my preference of having my texts previewed. Really hoping you correct for this since I really don't want to preview my texts on my phone. I don't care if I don't see the preview on my wrist either, just want to be notified that something came through.

I completely agree. I get a lot of work text messages and they cannot be previewed over my phone by others. Half the time I don't even know that I have a message. Just very frustrating. I have an Alta HR

I just got the versa 2 on 10/29. Firmware is up to date but I’ve never gotten a single text notification on it. I’ve done everything suggested at least 3 times. Short of uninstalling and starting all over again. I have an iPhone 8 and updated to the latest iOS. My husband has the Versa and no notifications issues and an iPhone 8 as well. What else can I do to try and fix it? 😔
