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

Hi @Budda39c. Thanks for sharing those ideas with the Fitbit Community. We wanted to let you know that you're able to accept or reject calls on the Fitbit Sense. For more information about how the notifications work, check this help article.

You also had shared a unique suggestion, so we have retitled and relabelled your original post here to reflect that idea. Please try to make sure you only post one idea per suggestion, so we can keep the board organized, easily searchable and see which idea other members are voting for. Thanks for participating in Feature Suggestions.

While the new update allows you to answer calls, it doesn't allow you to place/make outbound calls using Google Assistant or Alexa. It would be nice to allow you to make an outbound call using your voice and Google Assistant or Alexa.

So is this feature suggestion to enhance the Google Assistant/Alexa integration to allow you to make outbound calls using your voice on the Sense? If so then that's what I want, and it should be a relatively simple thing I'd hope. Answering calls is convenient, but placing outbound calls would be just as convenient or more convenient depending on whether you receive or make more calls.

I think a feature on the sense using the Bluetooth would be better as not
everyone has a Google assistant or Alexa available on their phone,
personally my phone is not used for either (I know it has Google assistant
capability i just dont use it) but to be able to at least answer a call
would be some improvement

Fitbit Sense with 5.1 update should have Audible reply on Sense from Google Assistant! Not just text reply! Also when using Google assistant to make a call from Sense should be able to continue call on sense vice having to switch to Phone to talk to person you called! Same with Texting! Anything can start on Sense should be able to continue!

Hi @SunsetRunner, thanks for explaining why you would like to have the option to see make phone calls on the Sense. Thanks for sharing your feedback. I've moved it into a similar request.  A lot of users are asking for this option, I hope we receive updates soon.

We already have the option to answer calls. But it would be great if we also had the option of making calls from the smartwatch, that it had access to our mobile contacts and perhaps through Alexa or the Google Assistant to be able to make calls without using the phone.

Hi @Mercuso, thanks for explaining why you would like to have the option to make calls directly from Fitbit Sense. Thanks for sharing your feedback. I've moved it into a similar request.  A lot of users are asking for this option, I hope we receive updates soon.

Ok so will it eventually be able to make call and if yes will I have to buy a new watch or would be able to just update to be able to make calls

[Gracekarina73]

Please add the capability to make calls using Bluetooth.  I love my Fitbit and have had one since it was just a simple bracelet, but for medical reasons I now need something that can make calls in an emergency and I really don’t want to switch to an Apple Watch.

[scoylesays]

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 them through standard text message or messenger from facebook. I use messenger a lot more since there's more features and emoticons there. 

[scoylesays]

Also, I wanted to ask if this feature for outgoing calls can be included in a software update to the watch? 

[BonsaiPlant]

Whatsapp notifications are allowed but sense doesn't get call notification.
I would like to see those and if possible make calls from my watch.

What are you'll waiting on I have had my watch since October and never would have gotten it if I knew you couldn't call out or even full blown text from it. I had to switch from iPhone to android to enjoy the better features and still it hasn't been updated urghhhhh
