To turn on exercise notifications on your Fitbit Inspire 2, you need to adjust settings directly on the device, ensuring both general notifications and specific exercise alerts are enabled, and that Do Not Disturb is not blocking them.
Here’s a detailed guide to activate your exercise notifications:
1. Quick Check: Ensure General Notifications Are On
Before diving into specific exercise alert settings, it's crucial to ensure that your Fitbit Inspire 2 has general notifications enabled. This is a common oversight that can prevent any alerts from coming through.
- Access Quick Settings:
- Wake up your Inspire 2 screen.
- Swipe down from the top of the screen.
- Look for the Notifications icon (often a phone symbol or similar). If it's greyed out or shows as off, tap it to turn notifications on.
2. Enabling Specific Exercise Alerts on Your Inspire 2
Once you've confirmed general notifications are active, you can proceed to enable the dedicated exercise alerts.
Step-by-Step Guide
Follow these steps directly on your Fitbit Inspire 2:
- Open the Settings App: On your Inspire 2, swipe left or right until you find the Settings app icon. Tap to open it.
- Navigate to Exercise Alerts: Scroll through the settings menu until you find Exercise alerts.
- Toggle Alerts On: Tap on Exercise alerts and then toggle the setting to On.
Important Consideration: Do Not Disturb
The Do Not Disturb (DND) feature on your Inspire 2 can override your notification settings, preventing exercise alerts from appearing. It's essential to check its status:
- Check DND in Settings:
- From the Settings app on your Inspire 2, scroll to find Do Not Disturb.
- Tap on it and ensure that it is either Off or configured in a way that allows exercise alerts to come through. For instance, if you have a schedule set, make sure it doesn't interfere with your workout times.
By following these steps, your Fitbit Inspire 2 will be set to notify you about your exercise activities, helping you stay motivated and informed during your workouts.
