I have tried all the methods as recommend. My Fitbit 2 only gets phone calls and not text messages. This is very frustrating.

This has been going on since October for me. The only way I get notifications is if I allow read previews on my phone, which is a privacy issue where I work and the reason I got my Fitbit versa. I’ve contacted Fitbit three times with no timeline of an actual fix and they won’t allow a refund either. I’m not here to tell others what to do, just to share my frustrations as three months with no true timeline or fix has made me wary to make any Fitbit purchases in the future.

I’ve followed these steps multiple times. Still can’t get text messages. I do get call notifications and calendar alerts, but I want my text alerts back! I’ve only had my Charge 3 since December 2019 and everything was great until IOS 13 broke it! Very aggravating!

Someone on the forum said they went to apple tech and they went into settings, general, reset, reset all settings. So I did this and it worked.

Suddenly getting “device not found” this morning. Updated iOS on Friday. Actually did factory reset because iOS update screwed my phone. Everything’s up to date. Got it to connect once and then lost it again. This is not okay.

I”m getting all my notifications except for text messages. I have tried all the above steps twice and still not working. Is this because a new device is out and you are wanting customers to upgrade?? Please fix.!

I just purchased a brand new Fitbit Charge 3 because I thought there was something wrong with my Charge 2. I have not been able to receive any notifications and I had followed ALL of the suggested steps multiple times. Imagine how frustrated and disappointed I am right now, having spent another $100 for a new device just to have the exact same issue! I need the notifications to work!!! What is Fitbit doing to remedy this situation? Perhaps I should have simply bought an Apple Watch but have been a customer of Fitbit since 2011 so I wanted to give it one more try. Not a happy customer right now!

My Fitbit is brand new, and even though I knew it would be futile as I’d already done them, I followed the instructions in this thread another 2 times. As predicted they didn’t work. I can receive calls fine just not texts. Is Fitbit coming up with any other solutions?

I followed the steps in this post only once and my Fitbit is working as it should. I have noticed that most people who had a Fitbit before the software update on iOS it was working (this means it was the apple or android software update that caused the issue).
If it doesn't work on your phone try to see if it can link to a friends or spouses phone (make sure you trust them 😉 of course ). If the Fitbit works with the other phone it is something on your phone causing the issue (maybe a new security feature).
Please backup your phone before doing an update in case things go wrong during updates
I know it can be tough troubleshooting electronic devices. I have done it before.
Hope you can get all your devices working soon.
