how to start messages and music on the Blaze?

I've looked in the Blaze 101 and I don't see where you can start up messages and music and whatnot.  Help!!

Welcome to the Community @roselover58! 🙂

For you to be able to receive call and text notifications and start the music, be sure of the following:

• Bluetooth is enabled on your mobile device.
• Your mobile device can display notifications (often under Settings >
Notifications).
• Your Blaze is nearby.

Fitbit app for iOS
To set up notifications on your iOS device:
1. On your Blaze clock screen, swipe up and make sure notifications are turned on. You can also access the notifications setting by holding down the Action (upper right) button from any other screen.
2. Open the Fitbit app and tap the Blaze tile.
3. Tap Notifications and turn on any combination of text, call, or calendar notifications.
4. Follow the onscreen instructions to bond (connect) your mobile device with your tracker.

Fitbit app for Android
Before getting started, go into your Settings on your mobile device and make sure it can display notifications.
1. Open the Fitbit app and tap the Blaze tile.
2. Tap the Blaze tile again.
3. Tap Notifications and turn on any combination of text, call, or calendar notifications.
4. Follow the onscreen instructions to bond (connect) your mobile device with your tracker. For step-by-step instructions, see help.fitbit.com

When your Blaze has been successfully paired for notifications, it appears as a
connected device named “Blaze” in your list of Bluetooth devices.

For MusicControl, if you have the Fitbit app for iOS on a device with iOS8 or above, no additional setup steps are necessary.

If you have the Fitbit apps for Android or Windows 10:

1. On your Blaze:

• a. Swipe to Settings.
• b. Scroll to Bluetooth Classic.
• c. Tap the Bluetooth Classic option until the setting is Pair.

2. On your mobile device:

• a. Navigate to the Bluetooth Setting screen where paired devices are listed.
• b. Make sure your mobile device is discoverable and is scanning for devices.
• c. When “Fitbit Blaze” is shown as an available device, select it.
• d. Wait for a message displaying a six-digit number.

3. Perform the following two steps in close succession.

• a. When the same six-digit number appears on your Blaze, tap “Yes” on your tracker.
• b. On your mobile device, select Pair.
