Versa 3 quick replies inquiry on iOS

[DB954]

Hi all,

I am aware that a Versa 3 connected to iOS cannot reply to text messages (I believe it is classified under "Not currently planned"), but I was wondering if it is possible to enable quick replies to other apps on iOS (e.g. Discord, WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger). If this is something that is not currently available, will it be possible to implement it in the future?

I thought I remember reading a forum post on this issue before, but cannot find it.

Hi there @DB954, welcome to the Community Forums. 

As you've mentioned, Quick Replies feature is currently available on devices paired to an Android phone. Devices paired to an iPhone or Windows 10 phone can only respond to Fitbit app notifications, such as messages, cheers, taunts, and friend requests. For more information, see: How do I respond to messages with my Fitbit device?

Just like you highlighted, such feature is not currently planned for our iOS users just as stated on this feature suggestion: Quick Replies for iOS Devices. However, even though the current status is Not currently planned, this doesn't mean that we are not reviewing the feedback we receive from our iOS users, therefore, I suggest you to participate there, leave your comments and a vote. We look forward to review your input.

Kind of upset that I didn’t do my research to see that you cannot respond to texts if you are an iPhone user. I would not have purchased this Fitbit if I had known. This is my own fault... but really hoping this is something that can be worked on in the near future. This has probably stopped a lot of iPhone users from purchasing a Fitbit.

I’m pretty disappointed at not being able to not only use quick reply using iOS but to also find out I can’t store music on my versa 3 with Spotify. Should have been clear on the package. Extremely misleading!!!!

I have just run into the same exact issue. Disappointed.

I understand that the inability to respond to text 

messages/iMessages with quick replies on the Fitbit is an clash of issues between Fitbit and Apple. However, why I don’t understand is why quick replies to other apps, such as WhatsApp and messenger, which are not owned by Apple are also unavailable, simply because the apps are downloaded on an iPhone? I mean…come on you gotta give us iPhone users something!
