Versa not syncing with app after recent update

[donnasmetz]

I have a regular Versa, not the new one. There was an upgrade a few days ago and now it doesn't sync with the app unless I open the app (in other words even if the app is open, I have to open and close it to get it to sync) and it is uber slow.

Are others having trouble?

Hello and welcome @donnasmetz 

Im sorry to see your having syncing issues. Currently this is a known issue being experienced by some individuals but let’s try a few things to see if that doesn’t get you back up and running again:

If your still experiencing syncing issues 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 having syncing issues you can try uninstalling and reinstalling the Fitbit App. You will not lose your data doing this. 

Here’s how:

1. Log out of the Fitbit app and force shut the app by swiping up

2. uninstall the Fitbit App from your device

3. now completely shut down your device and wait about 1 min then restart your device 

4. once your device has reloaded reinstall the Fitbit app by downloading it from the App Store

5. once it’s installed, log into your device as you normally would with username and password 

6. don’t touch anything in the app...just wait until you get a prompt from your Bluetooth.

7. When prompted by your Bluetooth tap yes 

8. now try to sync 

Lastly please check your iOS settings if this problem persist and try this:

1. Open your phone's settings.
2. Scroll down, tap Fitbit > Toggle Location to "Always".
3. Ensure toggles next to Bluetooth and Background App Refresh are turned ON.

😃 Hopefully these suggestions resolve your syncing issue. Please let me know
