How do I switch accounts on a Smartphone?

[Mama_Fran]

Can you use the device without having a smartphone of your own then? Does it work from the main smartphone in your family even if your parents use fitbit devices themself?

To set up 2nd person with own account, would have to log out of parents account, the create new account for the additional person; then would have to logging out of one account, then into the other.

Also be aware then, there would be questions about which phone notifications would go to, say, if don't want parents texts going to other phone.
