Video: How to Create Closed Groups in the Fitbit App

[Heather-S]

Hi everyone,

I made a video that shows how to create closed groups in the Fitbit app. This might be a nice way for you to keep up with your Fitbit friends in the absence of challenges. Let me know if you have any questions.

I'm not trying to set up a group, but was told to look for a group. I can't find it. On my fitbit app the "groups" option is grayed out. I can't find it in the website desktop either. How do I find it? Or does the person need to send me a personal invite?

I think you need to be invited by a friend. Friend means they added you as
a friend on the app and they see you in their friend list.

Yes you need a personal invite, the group I am I was added by someone from Ukraine and am really enjoying it.

Hi! I'm trying to meet more friends. No one I personally know uses fitbit. That's why I miss challenges so much. Could anyone help me joining an active group?

Hi Heather. I cannot figure out how to share daily steps within a group. I have looked everywhere. It's been a year since your post so maybe they have done away with that since last year. If you see this can you let me know? Thanks!

@NurseHannah I don’t think there’s a way to share your total daily stats any longer unless you screenshot your app today screen. You can still share sleep, exercise, active hours. You can go into the group and share a screenshot of your daily stats, but I’m 99% certain you can’t just share the daily steps. 


I did it here with a screenshot of my today screen.

Thank you for the response! That is what I figured and have been doing. Not
as easy but it works. Thanks!!!
