Versa text replies and iPhone

[KJGREALTOR]

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

Hey @SunsetRunner, let me give you a warm welcome to the Community! I'm afraid my friend that there is no update about quick replies on iOS devices yet. So I will ask you to be patient while our team is working on it. As soon as we know something about it, we will let you guys know. 😉 

I will appreciate your time and patience in the meantime!

If this article is correct: https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-Apple-Ecosystem-and-how-is-it-linked-with-iMessage; it sounds like it would work is if iOS users disabled iMessages?

I'm sure I'm missing something.

Hi, @AlvaroFitbit! Thanks for the reply. I wound up replacing my Charge HR with a Charge 3. I'm really digging on the text and email notifications. My one suggestion for the notifications would just be asking if the vibration could be a little longer, or a double buzz.

Thanks again for the help!

@gmbmx @HedgieTwiggles sorry for the late reply.

@gmbmx not sure what technicalities may prevent having this feature on iOS devices but hopefully the developers may be able to overcome them for the benefit of all Versa users.

@HedgieTwiggles thank you for letting me know that you are interested in the Charge 3. Also thank you for sharing your suggestion. You can post said suggestion in our Feature suggestions board. The more votes an idea gets the more likely the developers will try to implement it.

I'll be around!

Please keep us up to date! Would love to be able to quick reply!

Hey @Cheryll202, welcome to the Community! Yes my friend! Don't you worry, we will keep posting updates here in the Community so please stay tune. 😉 

Have a nice day!

I am having a lot of the same problems. Problems with the step tracking, sleep analysis and the fact it was oversold to most of us thinking we could text back from our phones (since there was no note saying they could only text from androids). I’ve had a Fitbit for over 5 years now and went and spent 400$ for 2 Fitbit Versas that have not for one day lived up to the hype of the commercial that sold me on them. And all my fiancé says to me now is “and you could’ve got us apple watches...” Just not what I expected from Fitbit....

[HeydyF]

Hey @Jaykes6, it is great to see new faces around! I understand how you feel about this. It would be great to have quick replies on iOS devices as well, so we can take full advantage of the Versa potential. I really appreciate your feedback and please note that our team is always reviewing your comments here in the Community. Let't hope this will be possible in the near future. 😉 

If you want to add any other comment, go ahead!

Just got a Versa, having a few teaching problems as I’m an iPhone 8 user and we couldn’t connect it at first. The winter clock also took the whole evening of starting and restarting the phone to get it working after which the time was then wrong — but all sorted now. I am hoping we will be able to text back soon as that would be so useful! I was hoping that we would be able to WhatsApp message but it seems that is also blocked! Such a shame! It’s a nice watch and good to wear in water though and enjoying the heart rate function. 

Many news on when we may be able to reply to WhatsApp and message? 

Also any news when companies like Tesco credit card and Hsbc bank will be able to be added to the pay section as I currently can’t use that feature. 

Many thanks

Same, I just bought a versa today and was so excited until I realized i couldn't send any replies or even quick-replies...

[sheilabourgeois]

So you can get text message notifications with the charge 3?  and you can send quick replies?

[Amrie]

Same boat. Totally ridiculous. Fitbit says they’re working on it however my confidence in a resolution is low. Very, very low. 

[Lenza87]

I got my versa in May and notifications has completely stopped working except for calendar events. It started with texts and now phone calls aren’t coming through. I’ve tried everything in troubleshooting guide. Still waiting to hear from support. I’m totally disappointed and wish I had gone with apple watch

[Amrie]

Right? I wish I had as well. The series 3 was $199 on a Black Friday, which is more expensive than the Versa was, however I would have no problem today quickly responding to a message while out running 🤪

[KarenZelman]

I just purchased an ionic and was told by the salesman I can quick reply to messages. I have an iPhone and I see that is not the case. Can I return this product??

[HedgieTwiggles]

Hi, @sheilabourgeois---

I have the Charge 3 and an iPhone. I receive text message notifications on my Charge 3, but I cannot send quick replies (or any replies) from my Charge 3. I do not know if sending any type of reply from a Charge 3 and an Android phone is possible. I suspect it is, though.

[Lenza87]

I believe it is only with Android you can send replies

Sent from my iPhone

[Carol01]

I got this bought for me as a gift by my pregnant daughter for me to respond incase she needed me but I have an iPhone. She was told by who sold it to her the Versa will send quick text replies from iPhone turns out no!!! what can I do? 

[Carol01]

Got this so I could connect with my pregnant daughter had a charge 2 and know I couldn’t reply but was told I could send quick texts to iPhone but turns out no I couldn’t can I send it back and get a refund cause it’s seriously no good to me 

[Carol01]

nope nothing yet
