The versa 2 an phone are 6 inches apart and I can't respond to a text

[Mgarrison19]

My voice text suddenly stopped working. Has anyone figured out how to fix this problem?

[NancyKrajcik]

I think I just figured it out!  If you go into your phone settings.  Apps/App permissions, the permissions for microphone was turned off.  Mine is working now.  Must've been during last update.

I had the same problem, and a simple restart of my watch and bluetooth on
my phone fixed it.

[Mgarrison19]

Thank you I will try that!

Im receiving notification on my fitbit versa 2,my alexa is working but to use voice to reply to text

messages is not working

[Mgarrison19]

My Voice text hasn't worked in months!

[SunsetRunner]

It used to work perfectly on my watch, but recently it stopped working. I
contacted support and they figured it to be a defective device. I shipped
my watch out today and will be expecting a replacement soon.

I am having the same problem. It worked great and then it didn't work along with Alexa. Phone is in my pocket. Sometimes I recv text , sometimes I don't. I can only reply to text by using the emoji/yes/no

I have rebooted, reinstalled with no results

This works for me but I have to do it everyday!!! The text reply seems to stop working if I use it a lot in a row...I just find this super excessive.  My watch is only a few weeks old...makes me feel like I should have returned it...everything else seems to work well...but this is a prominent feature to the watch.. it seems to have a glitch bluetooth...my phone is also brand new so...

[Thisismekim85]

Mine does not work for reply to text messages! Alexa will work with other commands but not to respond to text messages. Acts like recording but then goes back to the mic screen to record message again. So my question is there a glitch only for text messages ?? Will it get fixed ?? My watch is less than a month old and didn't have an issue till after I did an update a week ago  FITBIT  please advice and find a solution !!!!

[Dramallama83]

Honestly after my second fitbit versa 2 with the same issues I returned
it. The final straw was my versa 2 constantly saying I did 10000 steps
when I woke up... and changed brands to ticwatch with wear os. Its more
accurate for fitness tracking but is more of a watch in look so not as
sporty. I've had it as long as I had my versa 2 already and its always
worked. No issues. Its super frustrating because I loved my versa 2 and
would have kept it if it worked.

Thank you so much. This helped my situation!! I'm so happy now

Hi!! 

I'm experiencing this issue as well.  

My case number is 41211973. 

Tried factory reset, restarting app,  restarting watch.  Everything is enabled.  

I speak into my watch to reply to messages and the dots move like it's heading me then after 25 seconds says transcription error.

[Frankbit]

I don't know if this will help anyone else but I have to push and hold down on the watch (Versa 2) while talking to get it to 'hear' me.  If I just talk, the dot line does not move and does not register my voice.

Thank you soooooo much!! I have tried clearing my cache, un-installed the app, messed with Bluetooth and everything else! This has been the only thing that has worked!  I held the side button down till it turned off and when I turned it back on... THE MIC :microphone: WORKS! THANK YOU
