Hello @Dungarvan674, I hope you're doing well, it's nice to see you around the Fitbit Community. 

I appreciate your participation in the Forums and for sharing your experience with us.  I understand your concern about quick replies on iOS. At this moment, our team doesn't have plans to release this feature. You can learn more about how Fitbit decides what suggestions get released in our FAQs. For now, our team will leave this suggestion open for votes (and closed to comments) so that we can continue to track community demand over time.

Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback with us and we will let you know if anything changes. If there's anything else I can do for you, please feel free to reply.

Can you please explain your reasoning for this, the quick reply option was one of the reasons i choose the fitbit versa

As i understand it, iOS is the difficulty, rather than Fitbit. Something to do with their operating system not allowing third party apps (eg Fitbit) access.

Hi @dochs82 and @NellyG I asked the same question sometime ago and i was told that apple dont want to add it on for Fitbit, because they want you to buy the apple watch. I might be wrong but that is what i was told. I was actually thinking about buying the apple watch but i didnt want to but a celluar because it cost to much and i like fitbit more.

Apple doesn't allow it. It has nothing to do with Fitbit and voting for a suggestion won't do a thing.

Hello @dochs82, thanks for joining the Fitbit Community, it's great to have you on board. It's nice to see you too @Slatyer, @aux, @WendyB and @NellyG.

I understand your concern about this feature not being available in iOS. Even though our team does not have plans to implement it in the near future, they have been able to implement quick replies on messages coming from the Fitbit app. If this feature gets expanded in the future, please note that we will be posting all about it here in the official Forums. 

Thanks for your patience and understanding, have a great day!

Surely Fitbit has enough clout by now to negotiate a deal with Apple. Come on Fitbit!

Hi @TJBlaze Apple don't want to give Fitbit users quick reply, because Apple want you to buy the Apple watches.
