Fitbit Sense and Google Pixel 6

[SlayerKat]

I'm having some trouble finding the information I need.

Can anyone confirm if the Fitbit Sense is compatible with the Pixel 6 please?

Hi @SlayerKat  Android must be at least operating system 8 to work with the app.

@Odyssey13 Nice to see you back. Thank you for your help. 

@SlayerKat A warm welcome to the Community! Thank you for your message. 

As our dear friend Odyssey13 mentioned, you have to keep in mind that your phone has Android 8 or above, to be compatible with the Fitbit app and to sync your Sense your phone must support at least Bluetooth 4.0 (most of the newest mobile devices already support Bluetooth 5.0 so most probably yours do)

Hope this helps you further.

Great choice with the Pixel 6. It should be with it being Android 12. We can hope that Fitbit which is part of Google would have their latest flagship compatible with Fitbit devices. This is not to say there won't be any bugs. When the Pixel 5 was new there were some bugs. Hopefully the latest Sense firmware update also has some support for the Pixel 6, though it may not be necessary in this update. I'm running Android 12 on my Pixel 5 and all seem to be working well. I'm just waiting on my Pixel 6 Pro to arrive in November.

@sanman202 Nice to see you here. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and concerns. I can assure you that our team is constantly working on improving our services and products. As the operation systems on the newest devices keep improving and updating so will our team work to keep things as smooth as possible.

See you around.

Thank you. So far so good. Don't want to jinx it! Both working well together as I get to know both new devices at once.

Have sense and pixel 6 pro and they sync but cannot get text or calls. None of the how to setups are working.

[SlayerKat]

Which did you get first? I strongly suggest removing the fitbit app completely from the phone and starting again from scratch. When I installed mine new sense it was brand new at the same time as the pixel 6 and worked immediately. However I have read there is some problem with bluetooth syncing. So you need to sync via the app NOT via the pixel's own bluetooth if that makes sense? Hope that helps. Good luck

How do I get my sense to sync with my pixel 6 pro. I've turned on blue tooth multiple times on and off. I've turned my sense of and on. I've uninstalled so and reinstalled and have all permissions but still won't pair our sync

[SlayerKat]

I did a lot of research trying to get this to work and I read there is some problem with bluetooth syncing. So you need to sync via the app itself NOT via the pixel's own bluetooth if that makes sense? Hope that helps. Good luck

Agree with SlayerKat, been using the Sense on my P6P for a few weeks now.  Do the setup through the App via add a device rather than through the P6P Bluetooth menu.  Be near Wi-Fi as well just in case there needs to be a firmware download during the setup.  Once you are done you will see the Sense in the BT menu of the phone.  Good luck!

Thanks for the input. I finally got it figured out. It wasn't intuitive at all and took a bit of time but it finally worked out in the end. Thank you!

Have you found any resolution yet?

@ksc10165 Welcome to the Fitbit community.

If you don't actually mention who you were replying to, your comment is very out of context.

[ksc10165]

I just replied to a single user. I'll try a mention next time. Seems I have resolved my own problem. Thanks.

[eezeepee]

@ksc10165 Yeah I have a Pixel 6 Pro and overall the Sense works well with it. Some times I'll have to delete the Sense and add it back for syncing issues but it's been rare for me. A few times since December 2021.

[ksc10165]

@eezeepee I did that to resolve my issue. It's ashamed it has to go through the update every time you add it back. 🤔

[eezeepee]

@ksc10165 Update? It doesn't update for me. It goes through the whole setup process but it's fast and only a couple minutes. I just keep tapping next.

[ksc10165]

Yes this worked for me also. Thank you both @djjstew @SlayerKat 😁
