Hi

 

i upgraded from an iphone 6S to an 8 and now I can get silent alarms but text/call notification has stopped. I’ve tried resetting, deleting the app etc but no joy. I really need this function for work.

Hello @Lmgjkjacjms and @walkeralex360, have a warm welcome to the Fitbit Community. It's nice to see you too @Wandabark, I hope you're doing well. 

 

I appreciate your participation in the Forums and for reporting this to us. At this moment, if you have already tried the troubleshooting steps provided earlier, I would like to suggest you to go to your phone Settings > Notifications > Messages and make sure the following is enabled:

 

  • Allow Notifications
  • Alerts: Lock Screen / Notifications Center / Banners
  • Banner Style as Temporary
  • Alert Tone as any other than "None"
  • Show Previews as Always. 

I hope this can be helpful, give it a try and let us know the outcome.

After reading a few of the replies on this string, I went into Settings on my iPhone 8 Plus and selected Bluetooth (which was already on and showed my Charge 2 Fitbit as connected in the My Devices list...

 

BUT

 

I saw a Systems Notification toggle that was in the Off position.  I clicked it to the On position, backed out, and tried calling my iPhone from my work landline.  It worked.  I now receive Fitbit vibration and screen notification when I receive an incoming call.

 

ALSO

 

Before starting all this, I also clicked through my Fitbit screen pages on my wrist and made sure my Notifications page had the toggle set for On.

Thanks for your helpful reply! I’ve been going crazy trying to figure out why I stopped getting my text messages on my Fitbit.
