I currently only have a Fitbit Charge 2, but I will hopefully buy a Versa soon, as I love it! Based on an article I read online, I found this photo of the Versa, https://www.pcworld.com/article/3269855/fitness-hardware/android-quick-replies-fitbit-ionic-versa.ht...

 

I am wondering about if this means that you can call people back when they text you, if you have an Android?

The versa supports the new Quick Reply feature that let's you reply to texts with pre-defined messages. There's more details on how this works in this help file: http://help.fitbit.com/articles/en_US/Help_article/2344/

I understand that but I don’t understand this picture. Or is this photo photoshopped (maybe since it comes from a article recently). Please just explain this photo to me since it’s creating confusion.

I am only guessing since I do not have an Android phone, but I think what the "call" button will do is have your phone place the call. You will have to talk and listen through your phone though. As far as I know, the Versa does not have a speaker or microphone.

@Meymey @Bgailr312 Welcome! It's nice to have you on board! The options you see for the QuickReply feature will depend on the application you are using it with. If I am not mistaken this picture was taken using the Pulse Messenger (which does allow you to call someone if they text you). Not all messaging apps will have this option and if you see it will start a call from your phone. Like @Bgailr312 explained the Versa doesn't have a microphone to handle calls. Also please check @SteveH's post for more information on how this feature works on your Versa.

 

Let me know how it goes!
