Can't control my music during a workout

[Bobled]

I want to control my music on my phone the same time I am doing a timed workout.  How do I do this?

seems like once it’s in workout mode I can’t do anything but see the workout stats.

@Bobled It's great to see you in the Fitbit Community.

In order to control your music on your Fitbit Versa during a workout, please press and hold the left button until it vibrates and you see a new menu. Then, swipe to the right to find music control.

Please make sure you have followed our instructions to download your playlists.

To control music with your Fitbit Versa please visit this article.

Let me know if you need further assistance.

I tried holding the left button, but I didn't get a new menu - it stayed on the workout menu.  I was trying control a playlist that I had downloaded to my Versa 2.  And ideas why?

@Shwed Welcome to the Fitbit Community.

Currently, you can start a playlist from your Fitbit Versa 2 and then start your workout. There is actually no option to do it vice versa.
