Why is Fitbit not syncing today?
The first thing to do is to check and make sure that your Fitbit is connected to your account and that you have the most recent version of the Fitbit app. If you have recently upgraded your device, you may need to update the app to make sure that it is compatible with your device.
In addition, you may need to check your Bluetooth settings to ensure that your Fitbit is connected and paired to your device. It is also important to make sure that your smartphone or tablet is connected to a reliable Internet connection in order for the device to sync correctly.
If none of these steps are successful, you may need to reset your Fitbit device. Simply press and hold the button on the device for 8–10 seconds. The Fitbit will begin to vibrate and the screen will reset, which could resolve the issue.
If you still experience problems after this step, you may need to restart your phone or tablet.
It is also possible that your device is out of range from your phone or tablet, or the batteries in the Fitbit are not charged. If this is the case, you will need to move your device closer to the device or charge it before attempting to sync.
Finally, you may need to check your mobile device’s system time settings to ensure that they are correct. This can be done through the system time settings in your phone or tablet.
If none of the steps above are successful, we recommend contacting Fitbit Support for further assistance with your issue.
Why is my Fitbit app not working?
It can be frustrating when your Fitbit app is not working properly. There are a couple of reasons this might be happening, and a few troubleshooting steps you can take to try and get it back up and running.
The first step is to check that you have the latest version of the app installed on your device, and that your device’s operating system is up-to-date. If your Fitbit app is not up to date, it won’t be able to access the most recent features and services.

If the app is still not working, it may be useful to uninstall and reinstall the app. This will reset the app, and can help to clear any settings or data issues it may have developed.
Finally, the Fitbit app is built to work best on certain devices. If you are using an unsupported device, you may want to try using a supported device.
If none of the above steps work, it may be best to contact Fitbit support for further assistance.

Why has my Fitbit suddenly stopped syncing?
If your Fitbit is suddenly not syncing, it could be caused by a few different factors. First, it may be a connection issue. Make sure that the Bluetooth on your device is turned on, that your device is within 30 feet of your phone/computer, and that your device is not connected to another Fitbit app or account.
If you have multiple devices, try disconnecting them and reconnecting only the one you are trying to sync.
Second, it could be battery related. If your Fitbit is low on battery, it won’t be able to sync. Try charging it for at least 10 minutes and then check if it has started syncing.
Third, it could be an app issue. Try restarting the Fitbit app and checking that you have the latest version. Additionally, make sure that you have allowed the Fitbit app access to your device location and/or Bluetooth.
Finally, it could be an issue with your phone/device. Restart it and see if that solves the issue.
If none of the above has worked, contact Fitbit support or complete a factory reset of the device to clear any issues you may be having.
