Sense 2 Music Control From Phone

[Rex_LYK]

How to control the music playing on the phone or the function has been removed from the sense 2 as well?

@Rex_LYK unfortunately, that feature is not available on the Sense 2.

Spoiler

We can double-press the button on the watch anytime (even during a workout) to access quick shortcuts, one of which is notifications. Tap on notifications, then tap on the notification from your audio-playing app on your phone, and audio-control options (app-dependent) would appear. This assumes the audio-playing app on your phone is one that gives a persistent notification that contains playback control options when the app is playing audio. It's a band-aid solution but better than nothing

Fingers crossed Fitbit doesn't decide to "patch" this "loophole" with a future update, however unlikely or likely it may be. I don't trust Fitbit anymore (and it's true that they've taken away features before - see PC music file transfers on the Versa 2). I would advise everyone to be wary of future updates Fitbit releases; wait for initial reviews before deciding to install anything.  > <
