Adding friend not in contacts or on facebook

[LNAC]

Hello

Is it necessary to have a person in my contacts or a friend on facebook to be able to add the person as a friend on Fitbit?  Also, are you able to add a friend by using just the user ID?  is an email necessary?

I want to add a few people so we can complete challenges together however, we only communicate via a group.  Is this even possible.

TIA for any assistance

Welcome to the Fitbit Community, @LNAC.

You can add more Fitbit friends by doing the following:

1. Selecting them from your phone's contacts (you must allow the Fitbit app to access your contacts).

2. Sending a friend request to the email linked to their Fitbit accounts.

3. Entering your friends' username from their Fitbit profiles.

Currently it's not possible to add them through their user ID and the Facebook option was removed.

Hope this helps!
