I can’t seem to figure out how to setup my Fitbit Alta HR to my IPhone 5S, I know it’s compatible with the Fitbit, I also can’t seem to get my phone to find the Fitbit either thru Bluetooth.
i need help with the initial setup of it because I can’t seem to figure it out at all.
I touch my Fitbit and it says ‘www.fitbit.com/setup’, my issue is that I can’t seem to get my phone nor computer to sync with my Fitbit.
can someone please help me?

Hi
When setting up the Fitbit on the phone, the Fitbit App is required. This can be downloaded for free if not already done from the App Store.
The tracker isnt required to be connected through bluetooth on the phone directly, when setting up the tracker, the app takes care about the connection between the tracker and the phone.
Feel free to restart your Fitbit Device and your phone: How do I restart my Fitbit Device?

Hello @Tiara2345, thanks for joining the Fitbit Community, it's great to have you on board. It's nice to see you around @SunsetRunner, thanks for all your help.
@Tiara2345, as @SunsetRunner, your tracker does not pair nor sync through the Bluetooth Settings on your phone but through the Fitbit app. If you have already followed the steps in the link provided by @SunsetRunner and your device is still not syncing, please try the following:
I hope this can be helpful, if there's anything else I can do for you please feel free to reply.

Also, my Fitbit says ‘www.fitbit.com/setup’ , and that’s it.
Obviously it’s on, but I can’t do anything if i don’t know how to set it up.

Is the Fitbit App installed on the phone? It can be downloaded from the official iOS App Store.
After logged in to the Fitbit App, tap the upper right icon at the top, it has a circle and a few lines.. this opens the account settings page.
Theres a option:
+ Setup A Device.
Tap and follow on screen instructions to setup your little friend. 😉
Hope it helps
