Battery level in the iOS Batteries Widget

Is it possible to have the Fitbit battery level in the iOS Batteries Widget?

Something like this

any progress from the development team on this yet? If not, how about at having the Fitbit app show a battery % instead of “Battery low / medium”, etc. on the home screen (top left) or dashboard (top centre).

Would love this! I have had other small gadgets that had 2 day battery life and they had this feature. This is a must in my opinion. Or at the very least get the battery percentage to line up in the Fitbit app with what the Fitbit displays when going through the menus on it.

Yes please add this for ALTA HR, too. That would be great!

For me, Fitbit is plagued with small annoyances of little integration capabilities.. Having the battery level available to see in the iOS widget would remove another small annoyance! I don't see any reason I shouldn't be able to see my Inspire battery level alongside my phone and bluetooth headphones.

Any news about it ?

With these new widget on iOS14 it will be nice to start adding fitbit battery now 🙂

I would REALLY appreciate this feature! I am more likely to check it on my phone than the Fitbit itself and I always seem to wait too long and then it dies on me

This is 2020.

 

Why isn't this simple and mundane feature added yet.

 

It is not like they're "inventing" a "relative" SpO2 sensor that can't even tell the exact SpO2...

Seriously though, it’s such a basic feature. Why isn’t there a patch for this since iOS 14 came out?

GREAT!! Definitely a feature worth putting in; on the other hand, super odd that it's yet added.

 

This somehow reminds me that how tricky it is to sync Fitbit steps counting to apple health (so that I'll be able to get the number to other apps).

 

Whilst such basic functions are being served in default on many other devices, that Fitbit fails (or refuses?) to have such basic functions has been disappointing. Fitbit used to be my favourite.. it's sad to even think about giving it up.

Thought that once they were acquired by Google that more development was going to be done, but still nothing of substance.

Nearly 5 years later - still a missing feature, already supported automatically by every other peripheral I own.

Yes! Please add battery widget for iOS!

Agreed!  This is a basic level of service that I believe most consumers expect from fitness devices nowadays.  It’s a ‘must’, not a ‘nice to have’
