You should get text messages from any app as long as you select that app. I don't have a iPhone so are the iPhones using a different app than the androids?

It's great to have you here @phyll54 and @wtksk8r thanks for stopping by.

You should be able to receive text messages even if the person who you are texting with doesn't have an iPhone. Please take a look at the help article My Fitbit device isn't receiving notifications from my phone and follow the instructions provide there.

Let me know the outcome. Robot Happy

Thanks. It’s Actually my iPhone that wasn’t notifying me that I had messages so it wasn’t telling my fit bit that I had a message. Thank you so much
