How Do I Troubleshoot My Fitbit When It Stops Displaying Text Messages?

Fitbit is a fitness tracker that syncs with your phone to show you text messages, calls, and other notifications. If your Fitbit stops displaying text messages, there are a few troubleshooting steps you can take.

First, make sure that your Fitbit is synced with your phone. Open the Fitbit app on your phone and tap the “Account” tab. Then, tap the “Sync Now” button. This will sync your Fitbit with your phone and should fix any issues with text messages.

If syncing doesn‘t work, you can try restarting your Fitbit. To do this, press and hold the side button on your Fitbit for about 10 seconds. This will turn off your Fitbit, and you can then press and hold the side button again to turn it back on.

If restarting your Fitbit doesn‘t work, you can try unpairing your Fitbit from your smartphone and then reconnecting it. To do this, open the Fitbit app on your phone and tap the “Account” tab. Then, tap the “Manage Devices” button. Next, tap the “Unpair” button next to your Fitbit. This will remove your Fitbit from your account. Then, open the Fitbit app and tap the “Account” tab again. Then, tap the “Set Up a Device” button and follow the prompts to reconnect your Fitbit.

If none of these steps work, you may need to contact Fitbit support for further assistance.
