-
Joseph Russo (@NGridEconDev) reportedOkay! It’s been a couple days, but I have come to the conclusion that the new @googlehealth app is terrible! I will be shopping for a different fitness wearable! @FitbitSupport
-
J Silbert (@silby21) reported@FitbitSupport all my friends are gone! Is there a glitch?
-
🌈Joe Lenington🏳️🌈 (@joelenington) reported@FitbitSupport I know that. But after the March update to my Pixel watch 4 Fitbit doesn't count steps when I'm on the elliptical (it did before the March update). I know that @Google also fixed the problem but it's not fixed for me! I've done so many troubleshooting and nothing. I sent the DM
-
@MikeBeach (@mike123qwe) reportedThe Charge 6 hardware is fine. The problem is the new Google Health app. What used to take one swipe now takes multiple taps and screens. I’ve already added a Garmin Vivosmart 5 to my Amazon cart—even though I just bought a Charge 6. Please bring back the classic Fitbit dashboard or give users a choice. To my Followers-if you agree RP! @fitbit @GoogleHealth @madebygoogle

Stacey Randall (@staceyrandall_) reported@FitbitSupport @googlehealth help I can’t get into Fitbit or Google Health as you have only half registered my Google Health account so when I try and complete it it’s saying I already have one? Then says need to upgrade a linked child’s account but it won’t work or let me delete
-
Jeanette “…nothing ever really ends, does it?” (@Jeanett08615786) reported@dfteach @FitbitSupport @googlehealth I have a fitbit, and I have had nothing but trouble since Google got involved. Now my fitbit reads one thing, and the app has a number almost double what the device says.
-
GHF Ph.D 💙🧬🇺🇦 (@forbesygordi) reported@FitbitSupport hello the strap retainer for my Inspire 3 has broken off the strap - could you possibly send me a new one? I have a very disappointed son here :(
-
Constable Jones (@Dave25480117468) reported@FitbitSupport your watches are junk, just stopped charging. Cleaned the charger, swapped sources and restarted. Still nothing. Threw it out. Total garbage.
-
andy elton (@EltonAndy) reported@FitbitSupport I have a permanent red light on the back of my charge 5 and no display on the front. I've done a hard reset using the charger cable. This fixed the problem, but less than 5 minutes later it's back to red light and no display. Please advise next steps.
-
Van Gogh's Left Ear 🇺🇸 (@DennisH27411488) reported@FitbitSupport why can't we sync with the new fitbit/Google marriage? Why has the "Sync now" button been removed? Why can't I find a help screen in the updated app? You took an easy to follow app and made ridiculously more difficult.

Mark Pearce (@markyp46) reportedHi @FitbitSupport I’ve recently purchased a sense 2 and connected to my I phone 16, however I’m unable to receive notifications from apps such as WhatsApp, I’ve checked all the basics, is there a fix?
-
Michael Baine (@MichaelBaine) reported@HollyDolly1708 @fitbit @Vitality_UK Yep me too. The app is always plagued with issues. They keep brushing over it. They need to actually fix some fundamental issues.
-
Marty (@fishtale13) reported@FitbitSupport your site wants me to change something yet it doesn't tell me what to change to get a text pretty cool it sucks Fitbit support stinks very poor
-
Seebee (@SeebeeNarra) reported@Google @FitbitSupport @google Are you aware how bad the Fitbit app is now, since the transition to Google Health?
-
Heidi McLoughlin (@heidimc2) reported@michelleormsby @FitbitSupport I think we all need to ditch Fitbit and move to something else. They haven’t even bothered replying but then it’s probably because they’re inundated with the same problem - the move to Google isn’t working! I’ve had fitbit watches for 10 years but this hassle isn’t worth it
-
Mikko Tuomela (@mikkotuomela) reported@FitbitSupport Hello. I don't see anything relevant to this issue on that page. It is only about connecting them, not troubleshooting after they have been connected. What would be great is if FitBit would tell during exercise whether it is recording properly or not.
-
Beccybecster (@beccybecster) reported@RJ5400 @FitbitSupport Tbh with this new issue and the news that Fitbit is changing to google fit I feel I may as well buy an Apple Watch!
-
Rob Williams (@codeslubber) reported@Google just passed $4T in market cap. This week @Fitbit rolled out new sleep tracking and it's a complete jackass disaster. The old one I thought worked well. Now, the watch tells me one score, the app a different one, and apparently if you ever wakeup at all in the night you cannot have had great sleep (which is complete BS). Yes I know I already griped about this but here is today's new spin: if you are scoring things, and your scores whipsaw all over the place and are just pulled out of your ***, please just ***. Can I just get the data from the watch myself? next up, on @Apple I could and did, BUT the problem is those idiots admitted their monitoring of deep was not accurate because it would have taken too much battery to be correct. *** to them too!! #everythingisbroken
-
Rakesh R (@rakeshmoorthy) reported@GoogleIndia I have an in-warranty Fitbit that is not working and there seems to be no way to claim the warranty. What do I do? @FitbitSupport @FitBitIndia
-
Matthew Amick (@RunningAmick) reported@FitbitSupport Help! My Fitbit Charge 5 just completely stopped working yesterday. Can you help?

Anna Basic (@AnnaBasic2) reportedThe service from @FitbitSupport is horrific. I got a woman called Jona guessing from the Phillipines who has absolutely no idea what she is doing or how to behave to someone. I can’t synch my charge 6 to the disastrous new app. Never had an issue before. She even pretended she couldn’t hear me but then could when I said I want to speak to a manager then claimed she will call me straight back and hasn’t!!! What on earth? I pay good money Fitbit and premium membership.

Danielle Hartley (@DanielleeH23) reported@Zoe24354074 @FitbitSupport Having this problem also been like it for weeks so annoying is yours sorted yet?
-
DeinGesicht 🍳 (@Cavalcadewhimsy) reported@FitbitSupport @clevermonkey93 There is no point in doing any of this, it is an issue that users cannot fix.
-
Alli (@AlliHeathe) reported@AppleSupport @FitbitSupport so I updated from 26.3 to 26.4 on a brand new iPhone 17 pro and suddenly my Fitbit won’t connect to the app - but it connects fine on my old phone. Help
-
Debi Dowd (@LoudDebiDowd) reported@FitbitSupport I need help please. How do I manage my clock faces in Google Health app? How do I manage my goals? Where’s my hourly 250 steps reporting? Why doesn’t the exercise I start on my FitBit show when I sync the Google app? Hav we have lost all features with this change?
-
Kristin Mulvenna aka We Love You Austin (@kcsizzle) reported@FitbitSupport Are you going to fix the bug from March 2026, for the calorie deficit issues …
-
Amanda (@FatTrashCat11) reportedDisappointed in @fitbit app. Trying to update food plan & keeps saying the website is down for maintenance. Others having some problem, no solution in sight. Support was useless. Probably time to switch to @Garmin or other product.

Jessica Young (@Jessicayoung_99) reported@bookishbish @FitbitSupport Day 8 for me since this issue popped up
