Fitbit App won't sign into Spotify

[McCrabby]

I have been trying to sign into Spotify from my Fitbit app so I can use it on my watch. Everytime I try it brings me to Google Play Fitbit page.  I am very frustrated I have tired what is feel like everything. Clearly Caches, clearly data, prohibiting the app store from opening like that. It doesn't seem to work. Has anyone had this problem and for a solution for it.

Hi @McCrabby  - the simplest solution is to double press the button and use Music controls. (If it's not assigned to one of the 4 shortcuts you can change it in the watch Settings)

It will operate any music running on your phone without the need for the Spotify app.

There are 2 advantages,  firstly you don't need

Spotify premium subscription and secondly you can use it without stopping the clock or app you are currently using, to control any music AND the volume.

Lastly a Versa 3 is not listed as a supported device on the Spotify site and you can't load Spotify music on the watch.

I only have Spotify for my music, with premium. I don't understand if it's not supported then why would it come pre-installed on my watch? So I won't be able to play my music then, since it won't load Spotify.? This is very disappointing.

@McCrabby  -  that is not correct.

Spotify [with or without Spotify premium] runs only on the phone. All the app does is remote control it.

The Music controls that comes with your watch does a better job for the reasons given.

Start any music playing on your phone, use Music controls on the watch to change tracks, volume stop/start etc. Does that work?

I did try it after I wrote my post to see if I can. It does control my music (yea!), I just can't see what songs are playing. But it's NBD I know what song is playing anyway by listening to it.  Thank you for the help 🙂
