Your Fitbit device vibrates to alert you at various times, including if you set an alarm, when you hit your step goal, or if you haven’t met your hourly activity goal.
If your device didn't alert you:
- Make sure you successfully set an alarm. For more information, see How do I manage alarms on my Fitbit device?
- Make sure Do Not Disturb
and Sleep Mode
are turned off on your Fitbit device. For more information, see How do I navigate my Fitbit device?
- On Fitbit Charge 3 and Fitbit Charge 4, turn on Exercise alerts to receive notifications about your workout in the Exercise app
while do not disturb is on. Open the Settings app

- On Fitbit Inspire, Fitbit Inspire HR, and Fitbit Inspire 2, make sure that notifications are turned on under quick settings. For more information, see How do I navigate my Fitbit device?

- For health and wellness reminders, make sure your phone is within 30 feet of your Fitbit device.
