Supporting Signal App

Please add the ability to support Signal texting app (according to Signal "FitBit has not explicitly supported Signal"). In my family, I'm the only one using Fitbit, the others all use Garmin and they can receive Signal texts. If this feature is not going to be added soon, I'll have to return my Fitbit and get a Garmin instead. Thanks.

Signal messages worked on my Ionic up until a few weeks ago. I had a Charge2 and Surge previously and Signal also worked on both of them.  Please fix Signal App Messenger message notifications on the Ionic.

Yes, would be great. Highly confusing that you can select Signal to be default app when in fact it is not supported.

Unfortunately screen on my beloved Charge 3 failed and I decided to upgrade to charge 5. I was super surprised to discover that unlike my C3, C5 is not compatible with Signal messaging!

Hi @msanatal, thanks for taking the time to share this suggestion about supporting Signal App on Charge 5. I've moved it into a similar request. I think that a lot of users would like to have this option on their Fitbit devices. You can learn more about how Fitbit decides what suggestions get released in our FAQs.

 

Thank you again for your participation in the Feature Suggestions Forums.
