Let us add or remove tiles from FitBit Today

I would like to be able to customize what displays in the FitBit today stats, like add my sleep or weight info or remove distance or calories burned, and rearrange the order of the display. Everyone's health goals are different and the ability to see what I need or want to see is important to me.

Hi @Coventina17, thanks for explaining why you would like to have this option. I've moved it into a similar suggestion which has a lot of votes. As the more votes and comments an idea has the more visibility and momentum it gains. You can learn more about how Fitbit decides what suggestions get released in our FAQs.

Agree!! I do want to track female health in the app, but I don't want it on my wrist. It's just not a stat I want or need to share as I'm scrolling through comparing step counts or workouts with my coworkers or my kids.

I agree for all the same reasons stated above. I want to show off my new Versa, but don't want anyone scrolling too far down. I would love to be able to replace this with other info such as calories or stairs climbed.

I’m voting for the customization of the tiles when you slide up. I’m pregnant and don’t need to see my cycle showing up. As well as my weight to see my water intake. This makes me want to return this watch.

Better "Today" customization would be great. A simple option to toggle on/off what you want displayed would be amazing (i think the Alta HR/Charge2 had this functionality).

 

Sleep stats (# of hours slept) are currently missing from the Ionic Smiley Sad

The ability to customize the Today screen would be very helpful. Privacy is extremely important and I do not wish to see Menstrual info on there. It should be fully customizable.

The female health should definitely be able to be removed.  No one else needs to accidentally see that.  I don't want that waiting space on my watch.

What's the point in "upgrading" to a Charge 3 if you lose an important feature like that? I really don't want my weight or menstrual cycle showing up on the device and I want to be able to again choose what I see on the first screen. Please make an update to go back to a customizable tracker display. Thank you.

It seems to have been fixed during the latest firmware update

I just received the Charge 3 for Christmas so it should have the latest update. I also don't see the update button in the app which I believe means I have the latest version. I still can't customize the tracker display (I can only customize the app tiles). Am I missing something?

Just like the ones that you can add that show steps or move minutes, one that shows calories/calories remaining

I use to track on my fit bit HR on the phone's  exercise screen: mins, avg bpm, and cals. However, I have a fitbit charge 3 now and displays mi, avg bpm, ...and a cals icon.   How do I change the display on the phone's exercise tracker to display min, avg bpm, and cals ?

Hi @Czecka! That’s an interesting idea and could be useful, thanks for sharing it.  I've moved it into a similar suggestion, as the more votes and comments an idea has the more visibility and momentum it gains. You can learn more about how Fitbit decides what suggestions get released in our FAQs.

For the last two days the menstral cycle tile has been at the top of the Today screen and I can not move it.  I can interchange all the remaining tiles, but the menstrual cycle one is stuck at the top above my battery life info.

 

I have had men- yes, men, as in more than one man- ask me while I am hiking if I was on my period.  They were allegedly afraid that I would be attracting bears or wolves.  But their motive could have been otherwise.  These upsetting people don’t need access to this info. 

 

Not only can’t I remove this it’s now the first thing on my Today app.

 

So frustrated.

Hi everyone, thanks for sharing this suggestion. We’re happy to let you know that this has been released on Fitbit Ionic and Versa. You can go to Settings to turn it off/on and choose what you want to see on your watch. You will see steps, calories burned, distance, floors etc. in one tile named Core Stats. To re-organize the tiles you just drag and drop them in the order that you want. @micheleh98, as you've submitted a high quality suggestion that was released, you will now receive a higher voting weight worth 5 votes.

 

Thank you for sharing your ideas and enthusiasm with the community.

 

Please enjoy the new feature!

Do we have a similar ability to change what stats we want to see on the fitbit charge 3?

HeatherD47

That's lovely, but what about the Charge 3?

@YojanaFitbit is this feature also available in the Android App: updating widget to show calories/cals available? Instead of steps or move minutes.

It has now been a month that the female health tracker has been stuck on at the top of my device.  I am so angry about this I am ready to send you my device with a new tampon and new menstrural pad when you open the package to illustrate how unwanted it is to see my menstruaral data at the top of the Today screen on my Fitbit Ionic.  I haven’t even wanted to use the device because this making me so made.  

 

I have deleted the tile from my phone app and can only move all other tiles on the Ionic device.

I love my Versa 2, I like how big the screen is, but I would really love to be able to adjust the order in which I view my stats on it.  I currently see the steps per hour goal, then my total steps per day.  I would prefer to see the # of steps per day, then the steps per hour goal below it.  Just allowing users the freedom to adjust how they view their stats would be really helpful.
