How Do I Troubleshoot My Fitbit Not Connecting To Bluetooth?

Is your Fitbit not connecting to Bluetooth?

Don’t worry, you’re not alone. Bluetooth issues are common, and can often be fixed easily. Here are a few things you can try to troubleshoot your Fitbit not connecting to Bluetooth:

1. Restart your Fitbit and Bluetooth device: Sometimes, simply restarting your devices can fix the problem. Turn your Fitbit off, and then turn it back on. Then, turn off your Bluetooth device (like your phone or computer), and turn it back on. Try connecting your Fitbit to Bluetooth again.

2. Make sure your Fitbit and Bluetooth device are compatible: Not all Fitbit models are able to connect to all Bluetooth devices. Make sure the Fitbit you’re trying to connect is compatible with the device you’re trying to connect it to.

5. Reset your Fitbit: If none of the above steps work, you may need to reset your Fitbit. This will erase all of your data, so make sure to backup your Fitbit data before you do this. To reset your Fitbit, press and hold the button on your Fitbit for 10 seconds.

Hopefully one of these steps will help get your Fitbit connected to Bluetooth again. If not, you may need to contact Fitbit support for further assistance.
