I could happily be patient for a couple of weeks but some of us have had this problem for months. I called Fitbit this week and they have no idea if it will ever be fixed. They just keep telling you to try the same fix which isn’t a fix and I have already lost too much of my life trying it.

Prior to the IOS 13 update, iPhone users like myself were able to have their "Show Preview" option to NEVER and still receive notifications correctly. Which was part of the reason I used to love Fitbit so much. When will these settings be supported again, if ever? I've been dealing with this issue for months just like the majority of other users on this feed. It's extremely frustrating and taking way too long to come up with a solution rather than a workaround. More information would be appreciated.

Apple is is no hurry on this as Alphabet (google) is set to acquire Fit for like 2 billion which puts google back in direct competition with Apple (I think approval is still pending). Apple probably isn’t helping the developers at Fitbit at all hoping everyone jumps ship to buy an Apple Watch in effort to devalue Fitbit

After 4 months of not receiving notifications and repeatedly following the suggested troubleshooting, I was finally able to resolve the issue of not receiving my notifications on my Versa. I did a factory reset and then after setting up my fitbit again, I removed the Versa on Bluetooth and “forgot the device” twice. After this I paired my phone and fitbit the notifications finally started coming through again!

None of these techniques work. :(. I don’t get any text message on my ionic. VERY FRUSTRATING

I too have updated/deleted/restarted several times and text messages still won’t work. Since Google took over Fitbit I have had one problem after another. Been a Fitbit user since 2013 but it might be time for a switch because they don’t seem interested or motivated to fix this issue.

I can’t believe this is still not resolved. This is not a fix. It’s a bandaid that most people do not like including myself. Most do not want their messages set to “always” or “when unlocked”. The fact that it is still not resolved is unacceptable. Obviously Fitbit does not care if it gets resolved. Sad really! These products are not cheap and I used to really like them. You’ve definitely lost a loyal customer of many years and someone who has bought many of your products.
