Quick Replies for iOS Devices

Status: Not currently planned Submitted by on ‎03-18-2018 07:46

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.

You would make so many people happy if we could have this feature for Iphone users. I can read texts but not reply. Voice reply would be great also. Make yourself Comparable to the Apple Watch and sales will soar!

Please PLEASE make quick replies and voice replies available to those of us with iPhones/IOS devices. When I purchased the Sense smartwatch I didn't realize the fine print: "You can send quick replies / voice replies right from your wrist on ANDROID only."

Can’t believe Fitbit doesn’t have this feature. I’ll never switch to an android. Fitbit is the leader in trackers. Big big misstep

I would really like to be able to quick reply to messages on my fitbit from my iphone. This feature is currently not supported for iphones, and is a large part of the reason I purchased the watch at all.

If we could get iPhone compatibility it would be an amazing upgrade for the Fitbit community to reach others. Please allow iPhone users to be able to interact more with their Fitbit and their phones, and have them work together.

I switched from Android to iOS last year, and I do miss the quick reply feature on my Versa 3, it is very handy. I'd love to see it again on iOS as I am disappointed it isn't there.

Versa 3 fitbit watch to be compatible with its apple iphone. I purchased this watch for safety reasons so that my son can text me traveling to and from school if he needs help. The box advertised the phone having sms texting capability however it doesn't. Spent 4 hours Xmas Day trying to troubleshoot this issue.

Allow us to use quick replies like on Android, I am fairly certain that Apple allows Bluetooth devices to respond to messages
