Troubleshooting Guide: Fixing Fitbit Not Appearing on Bluetooth

If you’re an avid Fitbit user, you’ve probably experienced the frustration of your Fitbit not appearing on your Bluetooth list. This can be incredibly frustrating, especially if you’re in the middle of a workout and can’t connect your device to your phone. In this blog post, we’ll explore some of the reasons why your Fitbit might not be appearing on your Bluetooth list and offer some solutions to fix it.

Fitbit Not Appearing On Bluetooth

Your Fitbit will not show up on the Bluetooth list if the battery is dead. Try charging your Fitbit for 2 hours or more.

If your Fitbit still does not show up, try restarting your phone.

If restarting your phone does not work, try forgetting your Fitbit from your Bluetooth list, then reconnect your Fitbit to your phone.

If your Fitbit still does not show up, try resetting your Fitbit. To do this, press and hold the button on your Fitbit for 10 seconds.

If your Fitbit still does not show up, try contacting Fitbit support.

Why Isn’t My Fitbit Showing Up On My Bluetooth?
