[LizMendoza]

Just updated the Fitbit app in my iPhone X, the quick replies is finally clickable, but still not working when I tried it with the Versa, is quick replies now available to iOS?

Apple does not support this. Not Fitbit’s fault except they wont lobby hard enough – so perhaps they have let the Fitbit community down?

Hummmmm well anyway I don't believe it's not possible. I can receive now Whatsapp messages on my from my iPhone on my Charge 3... they said it wasn't possible duo Apple when I had a Charge 2.

I have Versa and iPhones. Believe Apple are the problem but Fitbit not pushing them to ok. If ok for androids the open up to Apple phones. What’s the difference?

I don’t understand why you guys are not even thinking about letting iOS reply to notifications. I don’t see any reason why you won’t. It’s unfair that just because I own a iPhone that it does not have the same experience as android. $200 is a lot to spend on your product and one of the big reasons I got it I can’t even do. Makes me think what is the point.

Is there any updates on this? Been waiting for IOS to have quick reply too and other functions like Android. 🙂

[Rooster2]

Nothing that I have seen

Plenty of time to Get Apple to ok. They are the impediment

I used to be able to do it with my pebble, maybe in the future Apple would help you guys to get it working? And also hopefully Apple health syncing? 3rd party apps can do it just fine so I don’t see why you don’t just implement it officially...

[Mincata]

You have been using that excuse for YEARS, blaming it on the phone. It's obviously possible since the Apple Watch does it. Can't you come to an agreement with them or do a workaround?  PEBBLE had a workaround for AT&T clients!

That’s not fair in my opinion.

When will “Quick reply” be available for iOS? It’s a frustrating drawback that’s making me seriously consider switching to an Apple Watch.

[Marrrmaduke]

@Buckinghnt It will be available as soon as Apple opens its platform.

Im not 100% sure but I think there are more iPhones with fitbits than there are androids. Im a iPhone person myself.

Yet you're happy to support a company (Apple) who locks their system to 3rd parties and tries to block any sort of competition? Strange. This is 100% an Apple (iOS) issue, they choose to close their system and only have it work properly with their own hardware (Apple watch). There is nothing Fitbit or any other 3rd party can do about this. Those of us who can see through this can see exactly why this is the case. To force iOS users to buy Apple watches (as Apple refuse to play fairly). Hey it worked for you, so it must be a good strategy.

I can't speak for the Moderators or Fitbit, but no amount of waiting will make this happen unless Apple decides to allow it. The better option is to switch to a more open mobile operating system, just like 70% (Android) of the world's population already have.

This is ridicules, this needs to be put right as we are limited because we own iPhones, making a watch that is not fully compatible is just wrong

[Wingsofsong]

Is there still no plan to make quick replies compatible with iPhone. I recently switched to iPhone from android and replaced my Versa with a  Sense. I am extremely disappointed that I cannot do quick replies now. Please help!

[Buckinghnt]

It isn’t possible to use Quick Replies with a Fitbit and an iPhone. I
struggled with this for some time and got some awfully snide remarks. I
ended up getting an Apple Watch AND using my Fitbit Versa 2. I will do this
until the Versa 2 dies!! I have a great crew on Fitbit and love the
benefits from Fitbit, Ali f with the friendships I’ve made, but the only
real watch to work hand in hand with the iPhone is the Apple Watch.
Unfortunately apple and Fitbit don’t talk to each other the way Android and
Fitbit do. I hope this helps even a little!

[Buckinghnt]

Get the Apple Watch!! It has amazing health and fitness stats and of course, communicates with the iPhone!!

[Nosnoma]

will the feature be added to iphone?

I really want to avoid getting an apple watch, but quick replies were great when I was using android.  now I'm on an iphone

[Nosnoma]

do you have any documentation on this?  Where does apple say they don't allow this?

I would just like to see the source.  thanks!
