I recently posted a feature request (https://community.fitbit.com/t5/Feature-Requests/Blaze-support-for-Google-Messenger/idi-p/1239681) since it seems like Google's Messenger app is not supported by the Blaze.  At least, that's what I see from my standpoint in terms of options when selecting which text message app to listen on for notification.

 

Does anyone else know for sure if Google Messenger is supported?  Or is there a 3rd party app (like bitTicker) that would integate support for Google Messenger notifications with the Blaze?

Right now the Message+ app is not fully supported.  You get notification of a message but the body text is not shown.  Some folks have removed the Message+ app and reverted to the regular message app to get the full text of messages.

Actually.. it looks like "Messenger" might actually be Google Messenger and not Facebook Messenger.  I just received a text notification on my Blaze with the full body of text with "Messenger" selected in the Fitbit app.  So I think my intial assumption that "Messenger" in the fitbit app == Facebook Messenger was wrong.  This is all clear now and solved from my perspective.
