If you are resetting your Fitbit for a new owner, the first step is to make sure that you have synced your current data with your Fitbit account. That way, any data you collected on your device will remain saved to your account.
Once you’re ready to reset the device, you will need to open the Fitbit app on an iOS or Android device and make sure that Bluetooth is enabled. Then signing into the Fitbit app, select the account tab in the bottom navigation bar.
Scroll to find and select the “Set Up a Device” tab and then click on “Delete This Fitbit”. Then follow the on-screen instructions to delete the device from the previous owner’s profile. Next, you will need to physically reset the Fitbit device.
You can do this by connecting the device to its charging cable, then pressing and holding the button on the device for about 10 seconds. This will put the device into factory reset mode, which is necessary for the new owner to set up the device with their own account.
After the reset is complete, the device will turn off. When the device is turned back on, you can start the process of setting up the device with the new owner’s account.

Why can’t I sync my Fitbit Charge 2?
It’s possible that you can’t sync your Fitbit Charge 2 if there is an issue with the app that you’re using to sync it, Bluetooth or the mobile device you’re using.
First off, make sure that your mobile device or tablet is compatible with Fitbit, as some devices may not be supported. You can check their list of supported devices here: https://www. fitbit. com/devices.
If your device is compatible, the next step is to make sure the app that you’re using to sync is updated to the latest version. If it isn’t, try to update the app and see if that solves your sync issue.
Please note that if you’re using the Fitbit app for iOS or Android, your version of the app must match your current version of the mobile operating system.
If the app is updated and is still not connecting, check to see if your Bluetooth is enabled on your mobile device or tablet. Also, please make sure that your mobile device or tablet is within 30 feet of your tracker.
Additionally,Fitbit recommends that you try restarting both the app and your device.
If none of these things work, try restarting your Charge 2 by plugging it into the charger, waiting 10 seconds, and then unplugging it. If this doesn’t help, try resetting it. To do this, press and hold the button on your Charge 2 between 8-10 seconds, until you see the Fitbit logo on the screen.
If this still doesn’t solve the issue, please contact Fitbit Support at 1-877-623-4997.
Does removing a Fitbit device delete data?
No, removing a Fitbit device does not automatically delete data. The reason for this is because all of the data collected by a Fitbit device is stored in the user’s account, which is password protected.
This means that once a Fitbit device is removed, the data is still available in the account; it simply won’t be collected anymore. However, if the user decides they want to delete their data, they can do so by signing into their account and deleting the data manually or performing factory reset on their device in the settings.
