Can I answer a call using my Sense's speaker?

[Emmeppix01]

I'm not able to use my fitbit sense in order to answer a phone call using the microphone and speaker on the smartwatch.

I hava a android phone paired with my fitbit sense.

Someone can help me?

This feature is not yet available. According to the Sense press release it is coming "soon"

My Samsung Smart watch did this.  it's like a Dick Tracy watch, although that's probably a dated reference.

I only used it a few times, when my phone was packed away in my backpack or I was out running.  The Samsung had a phone number of it's own, and I think it used AT&T number synch.  I guess Fitbit (will) does it by Bluetooth.

Everything everyone is wanting in the Sense is "coming soon". It's kinda a bummer they didn't have everything ready and working at lunch.

It's now October 15th, how soon will this feature be available??

[SteveH]

@Velveetacheese there's been no update from fitbit, so it's still "soon"

Is not available yet 😞.

A smartwatch without this function is silly!

Works for me with my iPhone.

Can you tell us how ?

What phone @C-7 

Have you looked at the help docs? 

[C-7]

iPhone 11 and yes, I have researched it.

I just followed the help doc and got it setup.  No problem. I’m using an older phone though, iPhone 6s Plus. Maybe someone with your phone will 

respond. Good Luck. I enjoy the feature when my phone is not within sight and I get a call.  Nice to look at the watch and determine if I want to stop what I’m doing and answer the call on my wrist or ignore it and allow it to go to vm.

Will that be for those connected to Fitbit Sense with an iPhone?  How soon can we hope for this and maybe placing calls to contacts or 911?

[Rich_Laue]

@SunsetRunner during an incoming call. If you answer through your Sence, it connects to the phone like a Bluetooth speaker. So yes you can talk through your wrist. 

As for when, or if we will be able to make calls, that would be up to the developers and fitbits plans. 

I can use Google voice, through the sense, to start a call, but the call is on the phone, not the wrist.
