More Notifications

[jaylow90]

Hello Fitbit Team!

after a message of one of you moderator i have decided to make that topic.

I really like you products but the people using an IOS device really need more notifications!

So please give us more! 😃

Notificions i would recommend:

E-Mail

Whats App

Facebook 

and more messaging apps

Whatsapp notifications for Surge is a must and minimum requirement for such a device! Thanks for its integration asap!!!!

[GlendonWoods]

Hey yesterday I purchased myself a fitbit surge, and I enjoy the majority of the features the are included, however as this is a so called 'Super Watch' I'd love it to also be able to show other phone notifications such as Facebook messenger notifications, email notifications and snapchat notifications as well as the text message and call notifications. I would highly appreciate if this feature was added in as I am rather disappointed

[MrDParsons]

I'm also very keen to know if this can be implemented in the future. It is probably the one thing I would like more than anything else and enable me to use the blaze properly.

Adding notifications for more 3rd party apps is a must. This is especially true for users in China, do some research and see how many Chinese smartphone users use standard SMS and WhatsApp v how many use WeChat. You are really mixing a trick.

[kirstensteffens]

and for ios (the blaze) it 's such a shame that you can on the android, but not iphone. it was one of the things i bought it for. Some one i asked on the internet who got one said it was possible, too bad he had an android. 

[ericmjl]

I'd like to second this idea please! Weather apps are especially useful to have on the watch.

[GArnold]

Please add notifications for the WhatsApp messenger, the lack of this makes the Smartwatch Blaze a lot less useful.

[Claytonr]

Would like email notification for Blaze, like the text and calls.

[SebSurge]

Hi, due to the fact that many people use messenger as their main messaging application, I think that messenger notifications should appear on the FitBit screen. 

Thank you

[Pakkall]

I agree !

[JimDB]

Yes please add

[pjec]

I would like notifications from any app on charge hr. BitTicker provided just that until the latest update. Perfectly configurable - as many or as few as you wanted.

[Leighsterrr]

Pretty please could we have the ability to get whatsapp notifications? I'm liking the look of the Alta but most people seem to whatsapp rather than text (in my experience) so if at all possible that would be useful! Thanks!

As an extension of the primary screen, the Blaze's current notification tray isn't very helpful. It is currently limited to phone (which nobody uses) and text (losing popularity as better social messengers emerge). Please add notifications for other apps, or at very least Facebook messenger.

[sueminnesota]

Please update the Charge and Charge HR to include text message notification. There are a huge number of comments about this on the Community Forum. Many are thinking that Fitbit isn't responsive to even a simple inquiry about whether or not this is possible. We need a response! Soon!

I love my Fitbit HR I got for Christmas and I enjoyed the call notification feature.  It made the Fitbit experience amazing when I discovered the bitTicker app on Google Play, so I could get text messages and alerts from other apps on my phone. 

I understand that Fitbit was trying to fix a bug that disabled bitTicker.  We wouldn't have to use a third party app, if Fitbit would develop a feature that does the same thing as bitTicker.  It would enhance the Fitbit trackers usefulness to get app notifications while exercising.  I even had the Fitbit app selected for bitTicker so I could get notices about low battery on my Fitbit, something the Fitbit should send anyway on the Fitbit display, not on your phone or via email.

Please either allow the bitTicker to work again with the Fitbit or quickly develop features that do the same thing.

I couldn't have said it better. Please either fix this fix, or implement this feature.

[japalie]

Please add that Feature. I am missing it.

[frank90]

I have a Blaze and I would love to see email notifications show up synced up from your phones calendar. Im always on the go and in IT so Im always looking to check emails. An API or release in an update would be fantastic. Does anyone know if there is anything out there as of yet for Fitbit for email notifications?

[frank90]

I agree. I have a Blaze and wondering if there is any API development for Email yet. Would be really fantastic

[misshughes]

Can you make it compatible with Microsoft outlook emails and calendar notifications? As well as whatsapp and Facebook

[pakk77]

+1 for sms and app notifications in Charge HR

[Farieri]

Fitbit Blaze on IOS not found elementary notification social Whatsapp, Facebook, Skype, Telegram, messenger, Gmail and more

[Lee_g3]

Looking to buy the Blaze, after using a Microsoft Band for a while. Would definitely miss having no email notifications, as they are very useful to have when out and about.

[BonJon3522]

YES! Please!!! It would be really nice to have email notifications!!!!
