Make phone calls on the Sense series

[Budda39c]

I had a fitbit blaze, i loved it, had for a couple of years then my husband bought me galaxy watch, it needs charging everyday, sposed to be every 4 but the point of this is that my fitbit blaze is still going strong as I passed it on to my daughter and she loves it also, the only reason I changed was the facility to answer the phone on the watc

This would be very useful for calling 911, in case of a fall, where I could not reach my phone to make the call.   Providing this feature would let the watch serve as an emergency alert type of device.

I would also like the feature enabled to allow access to your contacts stored on your phone and be able to make outgoing calls to them and or text message from fitbit sense

[Trademarkman23]

Currently I can answer an incoming call through my fitbit sense and talk through the watch. However if I initiate an outgoing call, it goes through my phone. I want to be able to initiate the call with my watch and talk with my watch like I do on incoming calls. I don't want to pull my phone out

Hi @Trademarkman23, thanks for sharing this suggestion about being able to make phone calls directly from your Fitbit device with us. Because this idea was already requested in the Feature Suggestions board, I’ve moved your post here. This will help us to make sure the suggestions don't get confused, or split a popular vote.

After making calls through Google assistant, it is redirected to the phone. Can't talk through watch after making calls. Need this feature to talk over the phone and making calls from the watch. Also, it will be great if the call notifications will come from other apps like WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram. So, that we can answer through the watch.

Hi @Saheli_Sen, thanks for explaining why you would like to have the option to make phone calls on the Sense. I've moved it into a similar request. I think that a lot of users would like to have this option on their Fitbit devices. You can learn more about how Fitbit decides what suggestions get released in our FAQs.

Thank you again for your participation in the Feature Suggestions Forums.

Can you also add the ability to make calls within the SDK for applications and clock faces?

Would love the ability to make phone calls from the sense

I also support to make possible calls from versa3/fitbit sense. As in some counries (for example Hungary) unfortunately google assistant is not available,  a contact list app with the possibility to sync the phonebook list would be the best solution for all. Or please make possible everywhere google search and the other options on these and other watches/trackers what we dont have here!

Thank you

The ability to call can be very useful in particular context, e.g. when skiing.

You don’t want to be forced grabbing your phone out of your pockets in this case. Calling from Sense is much easier especially when being on the chair lift.

Making outgoing calls is very important for fitbit users when we are out for a run or even a walk and there is an emergency or something very important going on that people is trying to get ahold of us when the situation can't wait any longer we should be able to take calls, and make calls from our watch.

Qe need an update to enable Sense to make calls. I can use Google Assisitant to dial and make a call but the microphone that allows me to receive calls doesn't work to let me speak on outgoing call but does in incoming calls? Why is this only a one way feature?? Please add an update to enable this feature. Such a simple thing should be available

YES PLEASE 

[AKARAS]

Please allow mic to work for outgoing calls

[LZeeW]

Your competitors have this feature.  

[AKARAS]

Had an emergency, was locked out of car. Phone was in car, being able to make phone call from Sense since I was in fact near the phone would have been a life saver. Needless to say that feature is not available. If mic is available for incoming calls it's silly that it's not for outgoing. One day it could be a matter of life and death for someone.

This is a duplicate of Make Calls On The Sense

 This suggestion should be merged with the existing suggestion. 

[AKARAS]

Not too familiar with all community post areas and features. Just trying to get it out there as much as I can for fitbit to notice, lol hence duplicate.

[Rich_Laue]

But having it split, also splits the votes, and then neither will get the attention. 

We really need.. 25+ votes a month.
