Option to display In-app messages on Fitbit device

I like how you can message a Fitbit friend between accounts, but was surprised to find that messages only end up in accounts, not on Fitbits that have text scrolling enabled. I don't really interact with my account beyond tracking. My kid and I were disappointed that our messages didn't show up in real time, on the device itself.

 

This could be really useful for a Family account, in situations where the child doesn't have their own phone, or phone is dead, or just to send a fun message, etc. "You got your steps!!"..."Love you"... "Time to come home"... etc...

@DorahTE Great suggestion! It could be a really fun way to motivate others. Hopefully, this will be implemented in the nearest future, so let's keep voting for this.
