I have tried a few times to resolve this issue. My phone and my Ionic have been restarted numerous times, I have followed your instructions, bluetooth has been turn off and on on my phone as well. Now, my ionic will not even pick up my wifi even when I am right beside it, so I appear to be worse off than when I started. This has been an all-day affair and I am done for the night. Hopefully tomorrow will be a brighter day in my fitbit world.

FINALLY figured it out for my Charge 3! I was only checking notifications for the Fitbit app in my settings. I had NOT changed my message notification settings for my messaging app itself to “Notification Center”. Hopefully that helps someone. (I didn’t do any of those crazy restart and turn off and delete steps again..JUST turned on Notification Center within my messaging app settings, then synced Fitbit.

I’m done, haha. I’ve tried for another day, unsuccessfully, to get this working. I even did a factory reset today, with no luck! So disappointed because I got this for Christmas and was so looking forward to using ALL features. I’ll be returning it this week, if no fix is made.

Do you lose your data when you do this? If not, I will try to remove mine and re-start. I am worse off then when I started this morning as it will not pick up my wifi at all anymore.
Thanks,

I tried all of the above steps several times. Also did a factory reset and deleted the app and downloaded it again. Still not working.

I FIXED MY FITBIT! I was experiencing this issue!!! Remove the Fitbit from your account completely, exit and shut down the app. Open the app and reconnect your Fitbit as if it was a new device!!!! I get notification vibrations for texts and everything!!!!

I have done all the steps that you advised and my exercise is still not updating. I have tried to reset my watch about 5 times that also didn't work. With my exercise not updating I can't earn my vitality points and reach my goals. Please advise what should be done for it to update.

I have an iPhone XS Max with iOS 13.3 and Fitbit App 70.7.14 - I can receive notifications for everything except text messages - I have tried all the steps and even reset my phone to factory settings. Please help

I've followed all of the steps outlined. I have the Versa, IOS 13.3 on iPhone 7. I'm receiving call and voicemail notifications but no text notifications, and haven't, for several months now. Very frustrating.

I did a factory reset on my Fit Bit Versa yesterday and today FINALLY texts and messages are coming through today.
Dont know it it will last, but if you haven’t tried it. Maybe give that a go? It was my last effort as I’d tried ALL the troubleshooting and recommendations I’ve read and this is what worked. Hopefully it will for you as well.

How do you do a factory reset on the versa? I did a factory reset of my Iphone and that didn’t work
01-20-2020 08:20
01-20-2020 08:20
So I did that and now I get no notifications 😩

01-20-2020 08:28
Oh no! That’s wild!
i didn’t have FB messages come trough first but I had to double check to make sure I had wifi connection on
ok try this... factory reset and delete the app altogether.
I literally started from scratch as if I’d just taken the Fit Bit out of the box. (You can’t delete your fit bit account or at least I never tried too, but just deleting the app worked)
before I deleted the app I also went into my Bluetooth and selected forget device.
one I deleted the app I did factory reset and then followed the steps for set up fresh 🤞🏻

I have followed every conceivable method of trying to find my missed history. Complete factory shut downs. Re booting phone etc etc. Nothing is helping. Please help me. I’ve had Fitbit for years but my Ionic has had historic problems. I’m falling out of love. Please phone or contact me
Thank you

I finally figured out how to get text messages to my FitBit (Versa 2) from my phone (iOS 13.2.3. iPhone XR)! The reason I wasn't getting text notifications was because I had the "Show Previews" setting in my text messages set to "Never." I changed the "Show Previews" option to "Always (Default)" and now I receive texts to my FitBit. It's kind of annoying that now when I receive a text to my lock screen, the message no longer shows up as "iMessage" or "Text Message", you can actually read the text message on my locked screen now. BUT at least I know that's what the cause was. I've always had it so my text messages were private on the lock screen, and before iOS 13, I could still receive texts to my FitBit anyways. Now with iOS 13, I have to have the "Show Previews" option to "Always (Default)" or else I wouldn't get the texts at all to the FitBit. So, ultimately, iOS 13 is still to blame. Hopefully this helps you and/or others!!
