I’ve just gone from an iPhone 8 to an XR and my app won’t pair with my charge 3. I’ve turned both my phone and Bluetooth off and on but still nothing.
Any advice please?

Hello and welcome to the Fitbit Community @Mrs_t_25
I understand you have a new iPhone and your having difficulty pairing with your new iPhone XR. If your still paired with your iPhone 8 please unpair it as it can cause issues. If that does not resolve your issue please try these troubleshooting steps. Hopefully they can get you up and running again.
First let’s try restarting your Fitbit Tracker. Heres how:

If your still experiencing issues 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?

Thank you so much, I had tried everything you suggested several times so I’ve just got off the phone to one of the brilliant support team who talked me through what to do.
Turned out it was much simpler than I thought and now I feel silly! Even though I had signed out and deleted the app on my old phone (which my daughter now has), it was still connected to the Bluetooth 🤦:female_sign: Which was stopping my new phone connecting.
thanks again!
