I think there should be a update too the app for the blaze too revive Facebook messages just as text messages as facebook is a big part of our daily lives
Moderator edit: Updated title for clarity and labels.
This is now possible! If you choose Facebook messenger as you're standard SMS application, Surge will also show messages received on Facebook messenger.
I feel that FB and/or FB Messenger notifications on the Blaze, for use with android, would be a massive plus for this device. So many people use FB Messenger perhaps just as much as they do text messages and I feel that this is the single biggest downside to the Blaze and is much needed. Please update.
Try this application. I'm a Fitbit Surge owner and I've been using this application for the last month. Now it feels like I have my Pebble Classic smartwatch back (I was in love with that thing until the Pebble Time OS upgrade that bricked it.) It will walk you through the set up process and you can choose which applications you want to recieve notifications from.
This looks like a great app! I've just instaled it and it works perfectly. Kalender, Google keep, Facebook, snapchat, instagram - now I get notificatons of everything! Hope it dosn't drain the battery too much.
Actually, I haven't had an issue with it being a battery drain. I have quite a few apps that I get messages from. The one thing I can appriciate about the app is that I get notifications from my S-Health app (I have a Samsung Note 5) when I've been inactive for too long. So every 30 minutes, I get a buzz telling to get up and move
Most people use Facebook messenger as their primary means of communication. It would be great for this feature to be integrated into atleast the surge and blaze.
With Blaze's latest firmware update, you can receive notifications from other apps, which includes Facebook messenger! If you already receive notifications from Facebook messenger to your mobile device, then you can enable them in your Blaze's notifications settings in the Fitbit app. Be sure to visit our Extended Notification thread for more information.
I would love to get facebook notfications or facebook messages to my fitbit blaze. It gave me the option to allow the fitbit to sync with my facebook and notify me when setting it up but apparently thats so it can post for me, not to get notifications. This would be an awesome addition to the Blaze.
