So, the Fitbit Versa 3, which succeeds the Fitbit Versa 2, can sometimes become unresponsive, or you might in fact be experiencing a glitch. So in this case, the best thing that you can do is restart your Fitbit.
However, if you find that this does not work then you might have to resort to a factory reset. Here, we are going to talk about how to restart, reset (yeah, there are 2 kinds of ways that you can do this) and also how to shut down your Fitbit Versa 3.
Restarting Your Fitbit Versa 3
This is what we call the soft reset – here is a walk through of how to go about restarting your Fitbit Versa 3.
- Press And Hold The Haptic Button – make sure that you locate this button on the side of your Fitbit and that you press and hold the button for 10 seconds.
- Wait For The Fitbit Logo To Appear – this is the moment where you can take your finger off the haptic button. Wait for that logo to release the button!
Sometimes this can be key to giving your Fitbit time to power down and restart your device, and any unresponsiveness will correct itself.
Alternatively, you may find that you have to go an extra step further and plug for the hard reset.
