Will the Versa text message reply options ever work with iPhone?  Or will that remain an Android only feature?

Hi everyone! Good to have you all in the Fitbit Community Forums! 🙂

 

I just wanted to jump in to please ask you to keep the conversation friendly. We're all here to either get help or to help others and helping others in sarcastic ways is not a very good way to help.

 

Please be considerate to others and treat them the way you'd like to be treated (if you like to be treated disrespectfully, you're in the wrong forums).

 

If you need any help, our moderators and council members are here to help, so feel free to let us know!

@PCleme @Clairbear5 It's great to see that you've visited the Fitbit Community! 

 

Hi everyone, as mentioned before this is part of the iOS close environment. I do hope we can get this feature working for all of iOS users but at this time the restrictions don't allow us to push this. I am pretty sure if this changes there will be a big announcement so please just keep an eye in the Community from time to time or check this Feature Suggestion (and add your vote to it!).

 

I'll be around!

Yes, I had a pebble and I was able to reply to text (voice and canned text replies) using my iPhone.

The find my phone option would be really nice for versa to integrate; however, in the mean time I use tile! It is a little key chain that attaches to your keys. It's definitely been a life saver as there is a little built in gps and stored the last location of your phone and keys. You can use it to find your phone and use your phone to find whatever it is you attach the tile to 🙂

I turned off the text message feature on my Versa. Better battery life and I'm not bothered all the time with alerts. Robot wink

I loved this feature. They linked your watch to your cell carrier with a verification code. I had it all set up and loved it. When my Pebble Time failed and I set up another one, it couldn’t finish the verification process anymore. I wonder if it’s something Pebble used to pay for. RIP Pebble

Hello!

Can you see the content of the text message on the Versa, or do you only see a notification that you received a text message on the Versa?

Thanks!

@HedgieTwiggles @Ajsuede Welcome to the Fitbit Community! It's great to have you here! Sorry for the delay in my reply. You will be able to see the content of the message on your Versa with text notifications. The only thing is that you don't have the option to use a QuickReply on iOS. You can read more about notifications here.

 

Keep me posted!
