Hi I have my FitBit Charge HR synced with my iphone and laptop but use the phone app most, however I have set up a group for our work and we want to set challenges for ourselves etc? Is this possible? Do I have to be friends with all the people to add them to our group? What is the best way to manage, on phone or desktop?
Thanks

Hello @naomilaauli,
Welcome to the community!
You can set up a challenge on both your phone or even through the Fitbit App on your laptop provided you are running a recent version (Windows 8+) of Windows. You can't establish a challenge from the Fitbit website.
That said, challenges have certain constraints:
You could also establish a Fitbit Group. Each group has its own discussion group and leaderboard.
In my experience, the challenges are more interactive (and thus more motivating) and the groups are more persistent.
I hope this helps.

Thanks so much for that, however I am using the iphone app but dont seem to see where I can set up challenges? Could you help with that, also I have established a group but it only lets me track week or monthly steps etc. Is there a way you can see daily? or at least highest day for the week?
Thanks again, also on the desktop app, i am not sure what version of Windows I am running but when I go to download it tells me I need to upgrade to Windows 10? Is that correct?
Thanks

Hello @naomilaauli,
There is (or at least was) a version of the Fitbit App available on Windows 8. You'll definitely need to upgrade if you're running Windows 7 (hint: the upgrade to Windows 10 is free from Windows 7).
That said, while I don't have or use an iPhone, I bet you can access it by tapping on the challenges icon on the bottom (see circled):
I hope this helps.
