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

  1. Update the Fitbit app.
  2. 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

  1. Tap Settings > Bluetooth.
  2. Tap the information icon 
     
     next to the name of your Fitbit device.
  3. Turn Share System Notifications off and then back on. If you don't see the Share System Notifications option:
    1. Restart your Fitbit device. For more information, see How do I restart my Fitbit device?
    2. Tap Allow when you receive a message on your iPhone or iPad asking if you want your Fitbit device to show notifications.
    3. Tap the information icon 
       
       next to the name of your Fitbit device
    4. Turn on Share System Notifications.

3. CHECK YOUR NOTIFICATION SETTINGS

  1. Tap Settings in the top-left to return to the Settings page > Notifications.
  2.  Make sure Show Previews is set to Always or When Unlocked.
  3. Verify the settings for each app that sends notifications:
App Settings
Calendar
  • Allow Notifications—On
  • Tap each notification type and verify the settings:
    • Alerts > Notification Center—On
    • Show Previews—Always or When Unlocked
Messages
  • Allow Notifications—On
  • Alerts > Notification Center—On
  • Show Previews—Always or When Unlocked
Phone
  • Allow Notifications—On
  • Alerts > Notification Center—On
  • Show Previews—Always or When Unlocked
All other apps
  • Allow Notifications—On
  • Alerts > Notification Center—On
  • Show Previews—Always or When Unlocked

4. RESTART YOUR PHONE

For instructions, see the Apple help article.

Setting my message notification settings to "Show Previews—Always or When Unlocked" worked for me and I have the Versa 2 and the most recent iPhone update. I wasn't getting text notifications, but got everything else. I made sure to change the setting to "when unlocked" like previously mentioned (because I had it at "never") and it fixed the issue for me.

Oh and I also did the bluetooth setting thing where you turn off and on the setting thing for sharing system notifications.

I have tried all the troubleshooting tips, my phone and app are up to date, and I still cannot receive text messages on my Alta. I receive phone calls, but no text messages. This is getting very frustrating

Unfortunately Fitbit won’t let you do that someone already tried that and they said since an iOS issue and everything else is working on the Fitbit they won’t replace it. I switched to an Apple Watch

I have an iPhone XS Max and a Versa 2...

Settings > Notifications > Messages (not Fitbit) > Show Previews

Set to "When Unlocked" or "Always"

Unbeknownst to me, and possibly many others here, that setting had changed
to "never." Possibly, with the iOS 13 update?? IDK...

I’ve done everything on this thread a couple times and still cannot get my Blaze to show notifications anymore. I am probably going to switch products and not buy another Fitbit if this issue cannot get resolved.

FINALLY!!! My Fitbit Charge 2 is fixed!!! I had tried all the troubleshooting tips and multiple other things and NOTHING! The issue was accidentally fixed tonight! HAPPY DANCE!!! I received a text through my watch and I jumped!!! Was on the phone with Verizon for another issue and was instructed to “RESET” my iPhone 7Plus. It fixed the other issue I was having and then I got a text on my Fitbit!!! Warning: If you reset, the iPhone will go back to factory settings but you will not lose data (contacts, pics, etc.) I lost my thumbprint recognition, therefore lost all my passwords!!! Happy to have Fitbit working again, but it’s a shame I lost so much!!!

Every few days, I have tried all the troubleshooting tips. My iphone and fitbit app are up to date. I still cannot receive notifications of text messages on my Alta. I was really hopeful the latest app update would do it but no change. This is a very long time to wait for a fix.

Yes, this is the exact same response that I got earlier this week. Not allowed to bring back even though I’m under the 1 year because it isn’t a manufacturer’s problem. No timeline on fixing the issue when I repeatedly asked—just a lot of vague answers and no helpful support at all. Very frustrating!

I agree it’s been going on for 2 months now and still nothing. I’m so glad I switched to an Apple Watch no issues with my iOS 13.1 update

Freaking ridiculous- this text notification BS and now my Fitbit lost connection. I removed it and went through all the steps to set it back up to no avail. Called Fitbit and they can’t get it to work either. They said they would send a replacement offer but I’m almost to the point of not even doing that because WHATS THE POINT it doesn’t work as advertised even when it’s connected!!
