Hello there @Jazzy10, it's nice to see you around the Community Forums. 

Since you're setting up notifications, you'll need to receive a message from the app desired in order for your app to show it as option in your Fitbit notification's section. For example, tell someone to send a WhatsApp, then check your Fitbit app and you'll see that WhatsApp is already an option to be selected. To find the step-by-step, see: How do I get notifications from my phone on my Fitbit device? 

You can choose 1 app per category. The most common apps for these features are:

 

  • Calls—Dialer
  • Text messages—Messages
  • Calendar events—Calendar
  • Emails—Gmail

However, WhatsApp is found within "App Notifications" where you can find all the third-party apps you want notifications from.

Please note that for "Text Messages" section you can only select your primary text messaging app (that can be WhatsApp, your phone's default Message app or any other). However, in "App Notifications" section you can select more apps, for example if you decided that for your primary text messaging app you want it to be WhatsApp, in App Notifications you can enable Messages app.
