If you are looking for how to reset or restart Fitbit, this means that your Fitbit is experiencing issues. So, if the issues are anything like:
- Unable to sync.
- It does not react when you press the buttons, tap it, or try to slide your finger across the screen.
- It’s charged, but it won’t turn on.
- It does not follow your footsteps or other statistics.
First, we would recommend a restart. The restart is done differently depends on the model. After you restart, your device will turn off and on again without erasing your activity data.
Some Fitbit devices have small holes for sensors such as the microphone or altimeter. Do not attempt to restart your device by inserting objects such as paper clips into these holes, as this could damage your Fitbit device.
