Can I sync Fitbit to Apple Health?

Fitbit doesn't sync directly to Apple Health, but you can use third-party apps like "Sync Solver for Fitbit" to transfer your Fitbit data to Apple Health. This allows your Fitbit steps to count towards your Apple Health goals.

Why won't my Fitbit connect to my iPhone?

Common causes include: Bluetooth being off, Fitbit battery being low, being too far from your phone, or the Fitbit being connected to a different device. Try restarting both devices and ensure you're pairing through the Fitbit app, not your phone's Bluetooth settings.

No, Fitbit Premium is optional. The free Fitbit app includes all basic features: step tracking, sleep tracking, heart rate monitoring, and syncing with your iPhone. Premium adds advanced insights, guided workouts, and wellness reports.

How often does Fitbit sync with iPhone?

Fitbit syncs automatically throughout the day when your phone is nearby and Bluetooth is enabled. You can also manually sync by opening the Fitbit app and pulling down on the dashboard. For best results, keep the Fitbit app running in the background.
