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.

  1. Tap Settings > Bluetooth.
  2. Tap the information icon

       next to the name of your Fitbit device

Yeah, I tried all of your fixes!  I wish I would've read this board before purchasing my $250 wristband.   I just bought a Garmin.  I will never buy your products again.

Thanks for that! Unfortunately, I’m not willing to reset my phone and lose unknown settings from it!! It has 18 months of info on it and I’m not savvy enough to be certain that it’s all backed up first!!

Thanks though, I’m sure there will be other, braver souls out there!!
