- Step 2: Tap on Apps and find the Weather app from the list. Click on weather to access its settings.

How Do I Allow the Fitbit App to Use My Phone’s GPS?
All modern Android phones come with GPS. However, if your phone’s GPS is not working or experiencing issues, you can use the Fitbit app to record GPS data.
On top of that, you also have to ensure that your mobile phone’s access to the location is always set at ‘all the time’ or ‘always.’
Fitbit Ionic, Sense, and Versa 3 have built-in GPS, so you don’t need your phone’s GPS for them. But Fitbit Charge 2, Charge 3, Charge 4, Charge 5, Blaze, Inspire 2, Inspire HR, Luxe, Versa, Versa 2, and Versa LE need to use the GPS of your phone.
Lastly, turn off the Fitbit app and restart your phone.
Why is the Weather Not Syncing with My Fitbit Device?
Solution 1: Check whether GPS is Working
When experiencing something like this, check to see if your GPS is working. Then, go to your Fitbit profile, find the weather, and look at the settings. Select the correct location from the menu.
To complete this, sync the Weather app with the Fitbit device. To make sure that all goes well, restart your mobile phone. See if the sync is back.
Solution 2: Check Synking is Turned On
If not, tap the Account icon in the Fitbit app dashboard to check if the ‘all-day sync’ is turned on. Just turn it on. The weather should sync properly now.
Solution 3: Change the Fitbit App to Internal Storage on the Phone
On the other hand, habitually moving apps to your phone’s SD card may be the reason behind your syncing errors.
To solve this issue, go to your phone’s settings, select Apps, and then the Fitbit app. Go to Storage, and change to ‘internal shared storage.’ Then, from now on, your Android phone will move the Fitbit app to internal Storage.
Finally, enable the location of the Fitbit app.
Why is the Weather Not Updating on My Fitbit Device?
If your Fitbit refuses to update the Weather app, follow these solutions below.
Solution 1: Turn Off the Battery Saver
Sometimes the battery optimization feature may get in the way of your Fitbit Weather updating itself. Just turn off the battery optimization from the settings.
Solution 2: Update the Location
Delete the current location and add it again on the Fitbit Weather app. It will trick the Fitbit app into updating the current location and weather.
Solution 3: Use a WiFi Network
When you’re using mobile data to run your Fitbit app, it may be subject to background data restrictions. This will prevent new updates from installing on your phone.
To solve this case, go to the settings to turn off data restrictions and use a WiFi network instead.
Solution 4: Keep the Phone System Clean and Reinstall the App
Since you’re using many apps on your mobile phone, the many mechanisms working simultaneously may block certain features from functioning correctly. For this reason, keep your phone’s internal system clean and reinstall the Fitbit app.
Solution 5: Restart the Phone
Lastly, restarting your mobile phone is the classic solution to most problems worldwide. If that fails, factory reset your phone, then reinstall the Fitbit app. All will be well from then on!
In a Nutshell
To summarise this article’s content, you need to get familiar with the Fitbit app to figure things out. Upon owning one of the Fitbit devices, complete your profile honestly, set up the location, turn on the GPS, and let the apps sync with your mobile phone.
