Notifications from your phone

Inspire 2 can show call, text, calendar, and app notifications from your phone to keep you informed. Keep your tracker within 30 feet of your phone to receive notifications. Up to 10 notifications are stored in the Notifications app on your tracker.

Set up notifications

Check that Bluetooth on your phone is on and that your phone can receive notifications (often under Settings  Notifications). Then set up notifications:

1. From the Today tab in the Fitbit app, tap the devices icon  Inspire 2.
2. Tap Notifications.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions to pair your tracker if you haven't already. Call, text, and calendar notifications are turned on automatically.
4. To turn on notifications from apps installed on your phone, including Fitbit and WhatsApp, tap App Notifications and turn on the notifications you want to see.

Note that if you have an iPhone, Inspire 2 shows notifications from all calendars synced to the Calendar app. If you have an Android phone, Inspire 2 shows calendar notifications from the calendar app you chose during setup.

To turn off certain notifications:

1. From the Today tab in the Fitbit app on your phone, tap the devices icon  Inspire 2  Notifications.
2. Turn off the notifications you no longer want to receive on your tracker.

To turn off all notifications:

1. Press and hold the buttons on your tracker.
2. Tap DND to turn on do not disturb. The DND icon illuminates to indicate that all notifications, goal celebrations, and reminders are turned off.

Note that if you use the do not disturb setting on your phone, you don't receive notifications on your tracker until you turn off this setting.
