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

    3. Tap the information icon 
       
       next to the name of your Fitbit device

I have tried everything and still nothing! I have Flex 2 and it would buzz/vibrate whenever I got a text or call! All notifications are turned on it doesn’t seem like they were turned off with the new update.

This was the only thing that helped me!! I think for those that it is NOT working for are missing the step that I was not understanding, when you are changing the message preview you have to go to MESSAGES not fitbit settings. That fixed it right away for me and then I changed the MESSAGE preview to when unlocked and I am all set.
