Quick Replies for iOS Devices

When will it be availible to reply with iOS for apple users. I noticed Versa can reply to text but it says only for android. I will never switch to android and the reply to text is the only thing that Fitbit is missing. Apple Watch does all the same plus reply to text and taking calls. Big miss on Fitbits part.

I would love to see this! I keep checking the fitbit website to see if they release a new versa that is able to execute quick replies for iOS, as well as updating the app and fitbit software just in case I missed something. I work in healthcare and my coworkers and I often text one another within the department if we need assistance with a patient or exam, but aren't always able to bring the phone in the room. Being able to respond through my fitbit could shave time off exams and get help to my patients a lot quicker!

Please consider adding quick replies to iOS with the new Fitbit sense. I am a faithful Fitbit user and also a faithful iPhone user. My Fitbit versa recently bit the dust and when I saw the new sense coming out, I got very excited that the sense appears to be adding all of the features an Apple Watch has except quick replies!!!

Please can you make every effort to install replies to calls and texts for iOS. This is a big miss for Fitbit as the tracker will only appeal to android users making it unfair on iOS users to pay the same price but not have the same benefits? I think you would sell more trackers if this was available?

I love receiving my text and being able to reply. However it would be great to be able to create/start a message via the watch. Its stinks that if u want to text someone new u have to get your phone out. Also to be able to have phone contacts on the watch. Almost everyother smartwatch has this capability and would live to see the versa 2 get this!!

I wish I had properly read the information when I purchased my new Fitbit Versa 3 because i was so excited to be able to quick reply to text messages/app notifications. But I’ve now realised only android devises when synced to the Fitbit will enable quick reply.

I just received the new Fitbit sense and I love it but I am very disappointed in one feature. If you have an android device the sense will let you send a voice text but it doesn’t work with my iPhone. Since half of the world has an iPhone I think it should be a top priority to add The voice text feature for iOS devices

On Fitbit Sense you can currently respond to messages on android phones but not on Apple devices. Please make this feature available for iOS devices. It makes no sense that it works on Charge 3 etc but on your latest model.

I’ve recently found out that users can quick reply to messages using some Fitbit devices. However, this is only available for android users. I think it would be good for Apple users to receive the same as it would be extremely useful.

I noticed that on the Versa 2, you can only reply to text messages if your Versa 2 is paired with an Android device, but I think you should be able to also reply to text messages if your Versa 2 if paired with an iPhone.
