Hello @Ashley88, have a warm welcome to the Fitbit Community, it's great to have you on board. Smiley Happy

 

Have you restarted your Charge 2 and your phone recently? Have you updated the OS on your phone and Fitbit app recently? If so, my best recommendation would be resetting Notifications through the Fitbit app to also reset the connection between the tracker and the phone. 

 

To reset Notifications:

  1. Go to the Bluetooth settings on your phone, then check if your tracker is on the list of paired devices. If it is, tap on it and select Forget this Device. 
  2. Restart your phone (once again if you have already)
  3. Open the Fitbit app and tap on Account > Charge 2 > Notifications. 
  4. Enable Notifications and when you receive a pop up asking you to pair your tracker and your phone tap on OK.

Additionally, If your phone is currently running iOS 11, please go to your phone Settings > Notifications > Fitbit and make sure the following is enabled:

I hope this can be helpful, give it a try and keep me posted in case you need anything else.

I’m having the same trouble on my 6s and followed your instructions but am still not receiving any call, text, or calendar event notifications.

It seems that this is an issue for a lot of users of several types of Fitbits after upgrading to iOS11. I have tried everything as well on my iPhone 7. Waiting for an Fitbit-update to fix this problem.
