How do I enable Textra messages on my Versa?

[Rivergoddess]

I received my new Versa 3 days ago. Somehow I remember seeing a prompt asking, "Allow Textra notifications?" I had to do a restart yesterday involving a full uninstall, reinstall. Now, I can't find a way to allow Textra back to the Versa, so I don't get text notifications. Otherwise, I love my new Versa.

A warm welcome to the Community @Rivergoddess.

Thanks for troubleshooting this by yourself. If you want to receive notifications from a third party app, you can enable this by doing the following from your Fitbit app:

1. From the Fitbit app dashboard, tap the Blaze icon.
2. Tap Notifications.
3. If your Fitbit device can receive notifications from other apps on your phone, tap App Notifications and make your choices. 
4. Sync your device. 

I hope this helps, let me know the outcome.

Thank you so much! All fixed.

Those are great news @Rivergoddess, I am glad to hear that you are now able to receive the notifications you want. If you need anything else, do not hesitate to post it.

Keep the stepping up!

Hi I have been using textra for a long time on my samsung s6 and have recently gotten the versa. I am able to receive a notification on my watch, but I am unable to read what the actual text says. Any help?

This is my problem too. Was there ever a solution to this?

I'm having the same problem. I get the notifications on my phone, but I can't view or reply.
