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

    • Alerts > Notification Center—On
    • Show Previews—Always or When Unlocked
Messages

  • Alerts > Notification Center—On
  • Show Previews—Always or When Unlocked
All other apps
  • Allow Notifications—On

I have also done all the suggested tips to get my Charge 2 working, and despite numerous attempts, it is still not working!!!

I have to have my phone on silent during work hours, as so do many other people, so rely on my Fitbit to alert me of any calls or messages. 
Please please can you get this fixed ASAP!!!!

Wondering if there has been any progress made on this issue? I prefer not to have to change the notification settings on my phone to enable them on locked screen (did not have to on previous ios verisons). Also, when I place a call my fitbit starts vibrating constantly stating there is an incoming call which is incorrect. I've actually stopped wearing my Blaze because the functionality issues with the app/notifications are bothering me enough. Please resolve.

Same here... I have texts and calls notifications now on my Blaze if I choose "Show Previews> When unlocked" but my Blaze keeps vibrating after I pick up a call and even vibrates when I call someone...

Did you try uninstalling the Fitbit from your phone and then adding the device again?

I did that and then tried the steps that were suggested

Following all the steps provided by Fitbit, setting up the watch from scratch, Managed to finally get mine working using the ‘show preview’ option in the IPhone setting but with the option to show previews only when phone is unlocked so won’t show the preview if locked, more private. Good luck and hope it works for you.

Try settings, notifications, messages, then click the option show previews and select ‘when unlocked’. Hopefully when a message comes through it will pop up on the watch. 🙂

No difference for me either

None of these suggestions work. I think Fitbit might have to do an update that we can get through the App Store. It’s very annoying

I’ve only had mine for like 2 weeks and this update has messed up texts.  Everything else is working fine, just no text notifications.

 

Tried uninstalling the app twice, still nothing.
