If your Fitbit Versa 2 is very slow or frequently freezing the screen, you should restart it. A restart will help clear the memory and help close any apps that are running in the background. After using Fitbit Versa 2 for the past three years, I have come across the following problem quite frequently.
- Running very slowly
- Not Responding to touch or button press
- Unable to connect to Wi-Fi
- Not syncing with a paired smartphone
- Not tracking activities and other health metrics accurately.
If your Fitbit Versa 2 faces any of the issues mentioned above, you should restart it. It would be best if you restart your gadgets, including smartwatches, smartphones, computers, or any other electronic device, at least once a week to ensure optimal performance.
