- If you update your device at midnight (when your step count resets) you may see an inaccurate step count for 24 hours.
- Updates may take up to an hour or more to complete.
- Leave on all-day sync and let the Fitbit app run in the background on your phone, which allows a small portion of the firmware update to download to your Fitbit device each time you sync. To check that all-day sync is turned on: In the Fitbit app, tap the Today tab > your profile picture > your device image > confirm All-Day Sync is on.
- Firmware updates only become available if you turn on all-day sync and allow the Fitbit app to run in the background. You may need to adjust your phone's settings to allow the Fitbit app to run in the background.
