Fitbit should come with a widget for Iphone that can keep track of your steps in real time. I say this because I use an app that allows me to use my Fitbit but I have to open the Fitbit app to send the information to the other app which I feel is a slight waste of time to do.

This would be a great feature, especially if there are no plans to integrate with Apple Health, or the new Apple Fitness app now in iOS 16 (which I just submitted a request for).
I was surprised today that I couldn't put a steps widget on my iPhone's lock screen. It just seems like a no brainer. Just get this done Fitbit, there is no need to ask the community for something this obvious!
I would love love love to see this. I wear my Fitbit on my ankle rather than my wrist. It's clunky to lift my foot to check my steps progress or heart rate at a glance, so I use the app a lot more, but it still takes many steps to unlock my phone and open the app each time and I still can't get all of the info I can get from my Fitbit (such as my progress on the hourly 250 steps). I would definitely use an iOS widget multiple times a day to check my progress! I was really surprised that I couldn't find any widgets at all for the Fitbit app, especially when most other health trackers have that information available.
This would be a great feature! To not unlock you're phone and see where you are in steps and distance. I wear my Fitbit around my wrist and could obviously use that, but it's smaller than my phone screen. Thank you so much for allowing us to comment and suggest.
