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.

Android devices have this feature where the app for messaging that comes with your device you can reply back but I’d like this to be added for apple devices too also make it to where you use your voice to reply

I have an android and have a fitbit and it works really well, it replies to text and allows me to see details. I bought my wife the same watch but she has iPhone and it does not do half the things mine do. So now I have to buy an apple watch.

It would be the best update if they allowed Iphone users to answer texts from their Versa watch as right now, it’s only allowed for Android users. I would find it so helpful and easier and I am sure others can agree too.

It would be nice to be able to respond to text instead of having to go to your phone to respond

I would use this feature every day it would be very useful: when I receive a text message from my Apple iPhone, being able to use the quick replies like you can with an Android device. It would be very useful.

Hi @xavier4299 - perhaps ask Apple to permit this.

Is it that Apple does not allow this?

Well I contacted Apple and they said they are not at fault, it is FitBit.

They also said to contact FitBit and ask them to allow it

Researched Fitbit v Apple and decided to upgrade to Charge 6 as it had Quick reply. Sooo disappointed this is only on android devices. Come on, either stop advertising it or provide it.
