Notifications from both 'messages' and 'WhatsApp' on the Charge 5?

[ThreeOne]

Hello,

Is it possible to get notifications from both 'messages' and 'WhatsApp' on the Charge 5. The app limits us to selecting either or of these. Why can both not be selected?

Hi, thank you for sharing your inquiry about the Charge 5, @ThreeOne. 

Notifications will be available from all the messaging apps with the Charge 5. 

You can go to your notifications settings in the Fitbit app, and as you mentioned earlier, you do need to choose your default messaging app for text messages - the options are “Messages” (that’s your SMS service), “Messenger” or “WhatsApp”.

However, whichever default app you choose, you can then go to “App Notifications” and select the other notifications you would like to receive.  That way you can definitely get notifications from all the message apps - SMS, WhatsApp, and Messenger, as well as notifications from many other apps, like calendar or email, if you like. 

You can find other useful information about notifications in this article. 

Hope this helps, I'll be around.
