Add Friends using a QR Code

[DerrickS]

Each user would have a unique in-app QR code that's associated with their Fitbit profile. If another Fitbit user scans that QR code using the Fitbit App, they will automatically become friends on Fitbit.

Moderator Edit: Added labels.

I agree.

This would be A great idea having the app generate it. 

Yes I can generate and save one independent of Fitbit.

Sweet. 

Add the ability to print out (wifi printers..).

Have it also available on fitbit.com  (computer)? 😉

Snapchat do this and it works brilliantly. 

Fitbit need this!

This would  be cool, but even cooler might be to use NFC and "bump" phones.

[Rich_Laue]

I already tap the phone to the tracker and let the NFC start a sync, why not have the ability to tap your phone to your friends Fitbit, and let the app ask if you want to add the owner of the tracker as a friend.

That's a really good idea. I hope the mods see this. 😉

[Rich_Laue]

This is where the developers look, we just need to get more votes, 23 probably won't be enough.

This would make it way easier to add a friend and you can make sure that you're not sending a friend request to incorrect users. Thanks for sharing such great idea!

I agree, this is so much less of a hastle for finding random friends. It definitely feels like a safer way to befriend people and start new relationships.
