Hello and welcome @lanzaote62 

I understand you’re having notification issues and sporadic syncing issues. I’m not totally clear on which Fitbit Tracker you have as you posted you have a “Fitbit 3”. I can only assume that it’s possible you have a Fitbit Charge 3 (Although previous post of yours are for Charge 2) Either way I would suggest restarting your Fitbit Tracker to help with your syncing issues. Look here to see proper restarting instructions: https://help.fitbit.com/articles/en_US/Help_article/1186

As far as notification issues please view this thread here: https://community.fitbit.com/t5/iOS-App/Stopped-seeing-notifications-after-updating-to-iOS-13/td-p/3...

Pay special attention to page one of that thread and perform all the steps carefully. If your still experiencing issues please post your questions and concerns there. If any new information becomes available it will be posted there.

Hello again @lanzaote62 

Thank you for providing me with the information about your iPhone 7. Your particular iOS device is indeed compatible with the Fitbit App which is great news. Let’s try a few things to see if we can’t resolve your syncing issues. I understand your have already tried restarting your Fitbit. Sometimes you have to preform a restart a couple times in a row. Let’s try that first: https://help.fitbit.com/articles/en_US/Help_article/1186


If that still does not resolve your issue 
try turning your Bluetooth off then back on again.

 

If restarting and toggling the Bluetooth doesn’t help I would suggest force shut the App and restart. Here’s how:

Turn off your Bluetooth 

log out of the Fitbit App

completely shut down your device, wait 1-2 mins then restart your device 

once your device fully loads enable your Bluetooth again 

now log back into your Fitbit App as you normally would with your email address and password 

now sync your device 

 

If your still experiencing an issue try this: please go to the Bluetooth settings on your phone and remove the tracker. In the list of Bluetooth devices you'll see the Fitbit Tracker and next to it, this symbol "!". Hit the symbol and it will take you to the next step, once you're there select the option that says "Forget this device" or "Unpair". Once you've made sure about that, go back to the Fitbit app, tap your profile picture then scroll down and select "Set up a Device". This should start the setup process for your device. Just follow the instructions as they come.

 

If the issue is not solved after the above steps, please take a look at the help articles: Why can't I set up my Fitbit device? or  Why won't my Fitbit device sync?

 

😃 Hopefully this resolves your syncing issue. Keep me posted
