Using Microphone features

[AidanH1]

Is there anyway to take a call on the fit-bit If you have an external mic connected?

Also, is there any way in the future its possible to make reminders, send messages, etc. using voice with an external Bluetooth mic, because that would defiantly add something that people would like to buy.

Feel free to ask any queries if you want me to clarify anything.

All Blaze or Ionic is allow you to tell iPhone to answer the call. Works fine if your iPhone is paired with BT headset, or wired headset. If iPhone is in your hand or on desk, you'll need to pick it up and hold to ear, or tap to enable speakerphone.

Thanks for your reply.

I do understand that, I'm just wondering If I were to have the BT headset connected to my watch, would I be able to then talk through that.

And also, Is there going to be something like an apple watch I can send messages using speech without having to touch my phone, using the BT headset as the mic.

Thanks.

@AidanH1 Your BT headset needs to be connected to phone, for use during a call. So if it were connected to watch for listening to music, headset would need to switch connection to phone for use during a call.

Similar answer for your second question. Message notifications are only displayed on Ionic, all replies require direct interaction with your message app on the phone. Therefore BT headset needs to be connected to phone for use as a mic for dictating replies to messages. The Ionic isn't involved in any message replies.

Not sure why you would have your headset paired to your watch if you have your phone with you, and you wouldn't get notifications if you only had your watch.

Listening to music directly from the watch,.

Right, but if you have your phone there, you could listen to music on your phone just as easily, right?

[AidanH1]

@bbarrera Will there be any future integration of voice command message reply in the future?

I understand its not available now, but is there any chance it will be available in the future.

Something so I don't have to touch my phone to send messages, etc.

[bbarrera]

your guess is as good as mine!

[AidanH1]

Its easier to download music on the watch for me, rather then the phone. 

Plus say for instance I have no data, and cant stream.

[bbarrera]

ok, but its far easier to have music on phone or computer than on Ionic.
