Find My Phone for Charge 5

[SunsetRunner]

Add the “find my phone” feature from the fitbit sense to the charge 5.

[Lt_Data]

It would be helpful if I could send a signal from my Fitbit to my phone when I can't find it.
Lots of competitors already have this feature, so why not my Fitbit charge 5?

I would absolutely upgrade my Charge 3 if the Charge 5 had this option/app. I saw that it was released for the Versa, but I don't want something so large on my wrist--I like the sleeker look of the charge.

I'm waiting for this feature before buying a Charge 5

[Swartzfett]

I can't believe a new Fitbit doesn't have this feature.  It absolutely needs to be added.  Most competitors have it.

[Brzish]

I have buyers remorse with this device. It's pretty clear Fitbit has zero
intention of providing any material upgrades for even such basic things as
less crappy watch faces to more pertinent upgrades like find my phone
function. Hilariously, the setup process of the device even contains a
step with identical functionality, so they literally already have it
functioning. Disappointing enough that I likely won't purchase another
Fitbit product.

Have just upgraded from Ionic to Charge 5 and really disappointed that this features is missing- why? This must be added as a priority!

[Dwatts13]

Fitbit please add the find my phone feature! I just got the charge 5 for Christmas as my two year old Versa needed to be replaced. I used the find my phone feature ALL THE TIME! So disappointed this feature isn’t included. 

[Yakira]

Please, Fitbit--give us Find My Phone!

[Mj123456]

Please add "find my phone" feature. 

[Nadizzle]

Yes please release find my phone for charge 5! Seems weird this is the most expensive tracker but doesn't have this feature 😞

[Charlotte1960]

Please add find my phone app for charge 5.

[Treksf6]

Seriously?? I was looking at upgrading to the 5 just for this feature, figuring they MUST have added this by now.. I mean even the 50 dollar Chinese knockoff trackers have this. Man I need to look at other trackers I guess.

[John-21]

I'm also surprised the Charge 5 does not have this basic feature that was present on older models and I see no technical reasons that might explain it, unless I'm missing something?

[Ayfit]

I really wish they would add the find my phone feature.

[LoriBarc]

I currently have a Charge 2 (bought in 2018) and the screen is cracked. I know it will quit one of these days so want to upgrade, but

I don't care for the bigger smartwatch (my wrists are small) but NEED to have the find my phone feature. Since my husband passed away, I have no one to call me when I lose my phone in my house. 

[Zicinparis]

We all misplace our phones from time to time. Since there is Bluetooth connection, it should be simple to reverse the notification and ring your phone. So long as the phone is within Bluetooth range, this should be a feature on the new Charge 5

[Serenity65]

It should be standard.  I lose my phone all the time and need it.

Please add a "Find my Phone" feature update on the Fitbit Charge 5. I am extremely disappointed to find out that my new charge 5 does not have this feature. I switched from the Versa to charge 5 because the size of the Versa started bothering me. I never imagined that a newer Fitbit would not have this feature. 😥 I used it several times a week.
