I’ve done all of this and the problem is fixed for a few hours, and then says it lost Bluetooth connection. I have to pair the Fitbit to my phone multiple (7+) times a day. Very frustrating

I'm having FitBit problems too. Common theme seems to be IOS 13.3 update. I don't think FitBit is keeping up with the Apple updates and that is causing issues. At least they admit "some customers mau experience compatability issue" but not that it is a consistent and widespread issue. Goes to the customer support FitBit provides.

See the message on the top of the FitBit community board it states "We’re aware that some customers may experience a compatibility issue with notifications after updating their iPhone to iOS 13.". What it does not say is that these issues are prevelant and impacting a majority of FitBit users. In my opinion it goes to the lack of customer support from FitBit

Look at Murphy Allen post about 8 hrs ago. I went through the process 3 times. About 4hrs later I received a text notification. I am keeping fingers crossed it will continue working. Live chat today I was advised that a solution is expected sometime soon. Reality is they had same thought 3 months ago. Hopefully they get it figured out.

This is still an issue in 2020. Is there anything else that can be done? Calendar notifications and calls are coming through on the Versa 2, but no text messages. This was never an issue with the original Versa...

Mine still does not work (no pairing so no syncing). Same issues appeared about a month ago all were tried to no avail. Coincidentally, I've upgraded my phone and voila, my charge 3 all fixed paired and synced although the all day syncing worked haphazardly overall was good enough to keep my daily activity logged. About 10 days ago I've started having syncing issues (partial syncing still occurred) and all came to a screeching halt a week a go, no more syncing. I deleted and re-installed he fitbit app from my phone. Now no more pairing. I have to call my apple watch to the rescue a third time in less than 12 months...

The weekend warrior challenge was great. The Weeday Challenge no so much. My dashboard says I did over 14,000 steps. My challenge page says I only did 3, 000.... Then this morning it shows 13, 000 and I have done another 5, 000 steps this morning. Why is it not syncing like it did for the weekend challenge, which was up to date every "second".

@KateFitbit Please fix this issue, I want iMessage notifications to go back to vibrating on the wrist and popping up a preview. This was one of the main reasons I bought the Fitbit. I have a disabled husband and am not allowed to carry my phone at work, having his text messages vibrate on my wrist and showing the preview was very important to me. Please get this fixed, I have tried everything to bring the vibration back and the preview to no avail. I am at the current iOS software and the Fitbit is updated to the newest software. The only thing I see preventing it is it is iMessage is not showing up in the Fitbit apps notification list. I will not buy another Fitbit product, very unhappy with changes being made when advertising says it is capable of that.

My fitbit (Charge 2) stopped getting text notifications from my iphone 2 weeks ago, but still receives phone call and calendar notifications. I have tried everything listed above - turning off and on notification settings, unpairing and re-pairing bluetooth, turning devices off and on, resetting Fitbit and iPhone - but nothing has resolved this. Please help! Text notifications are a huge reason why I use a Fitbit. I don't want to have to change to an Apple watch. 😞

I have done all the sets and still unable to sync / update clock face on my Versa. So frustrating!

I have done all of the above. Can the watch be returned and/or exchanged?

I just spent half an hour with the live chat to resolve this and she was beyond useless. Kept saying to be patient and they are working on resolving but gave zero solutions. Wouldn’t even offer a refund. I will never be purchasing a fit bit again. To say I am bad and frustrated is an understatement.

i did this and my fitbit is now dead
