Add a "Find my phone" app in the Fitbit App Gallery

We all misplace our phones from time to time. Since there is Bluetooth connection, it should be simple to reverse the notification and ring your phone. So long as the phone is within Bluetooth range, this should be a feature on the new Versa/Ionic.

If you don’t want to pay for it, have some more patience then. Good luck.

I think this would be an amazing feature. I actually emailed Fitbit support, and they sent me here. This was the first thing I saw, and I’m glad everyone wants it.

Yes!!! It's a great function! I just bought the Samsung Galaxy Watch Active but returned it and went to Fitbit because it seemed wildly inaccurate but this was one feature I did like! Be great on the Fitbit range

Does the Versa special edition have a find my phone option on it or do you have to pay for it?  I have a samsung gear fit and it's a great option.

I had a versa and recently switched to Samsung active.... my Samsung has find my phone and Samsung pay... these features are fantastic but i miss my versa with pandora and the barcodes app. Versa needs a find my phone and a pay app and i would switch back to versa.

I know find my phone would be an amazing feature to add to the versa and
other smart watch fit bits out there

Somebody made a third party app. Works just fine. Don’t wait for fitbit. They don’t care about customer service.

Doesn't work for me.

It is very true about the customer service.  They say it depends on the likes it gets.  I think this has gotten plenty of likes.   Fitbit definitely needs to get up to par with all the other smart watches out there.  It's too bad that it is this way.  I'm going back to my Samsung gear fit.

I found it by searching on the fitbit all apps search.. it was about $3.00 for
the year of service! Id say worth it i just got it all set up! Yay!

The 2 suggested don't work with my Versa.

 

I used this feature a lot with my Garmin.  It's really handy.

 

Please Add to OS!

It would be very easy to do this because you could just send a notification to the phone, and it would vibrate.  The notification could even make noise, kind of like when you taunt or cheer someone from the Versa tracker.

My last Fitbit was a Force which I loved.  I could wear it in the shower with no issues.  When those were recalled, I was interested in the Charge (it's replacement).  It did not handle the shower. So I moved to a waterproof competitor which I have been very happy with. I have decided to come back to Fitbit after seeing the Versa.  After looking at the features listed I was disappointed to see there is no Find My Phone or visa VERSA. I hope this feature will be available soon. I am still getting the Versa but I hope this will be a feature very soon. Please bring this feature to your Fitbit Versa!!

It’s very disappointing after fitbit get ideas, suggestions like this and their response is one big shrug of the shoulders. What’s the point of the community? Garmin next.

That is sad to hear.  It seems like every fitness tracker out there has the find your phone feature. It has saved me from frustration multiple times.

I have a Google Home Speaker and it even it has this feature....you say hey google, find my phone....and it starts ringing your phone...of course it only works in your home but my point is that even it has the feature, as should ur fitbits.

This is what I came here to ask for. My Samsung Gear Fit watch could find my phone. I didn't realize how much I relied on this feature until I got a watch that doesn't have it. Please add this feature ASAP.

4 years and counting...  Fitbit still hasn't taken action on this.  It's a huge selling point for all competitors, yet nothing from Fitbit.  Someone at Fitbit needs to take a middle school level business course...

A option to sound your phone from your watch in order to find it
