Why won’t my new sense give me the option to quick reply on my sense?

Hey, I’ve got a new sense for Christmas and was really looking forward to replying to my messages on my sense. I’ve connected my what’s app to my sense and can receive all messages on my watch but I cannot for the life of me work out how to quick reply to any message. It’s really annoying me, I’ve spent all day trying to work it out.

If you are using an iPhone, that would be why.  Apparently Apple iOS somehow does not allow this, and there is no way Fitbit can work around that limitation I have heard.

Quick replies work only with Android.

Before posting, re-read to see if it would make sense to someone else not looking at your Fitbit or phone.

Thank you for your reply, yes it’s a iPhone! I wish they had made this clear before I bought the bloody thing. 😩

Sorry to hear about your discovery! The Sense has been a real let-down for me personally and the more of this forum that I read, the uglier Sense becomes. 


I have contacted support seeking a clear list of features per Country and by device OS. Some doubts anything will be provided.


Thankfully, I am still in the refund window (and find that more appealing than continuing to unravel the string of disappointments around my wrist). 
 

My thoughts are that they sell a product that has known nuances and bugs (eg. HR is faulty, platform variations) and are happily selling them without any warning to buyers. The nuances could be clearly tabled in the sales information. When offering multiple OS platforms that is common sense, informative and useful. 

The approach is insulting, obfuscating and misleading, time wasting, anti-social (bloatware and paywalls); and another example of a company outsourcing responsibilities and problem solving to user communities, using the horrid delay tactic of user-voting, having no public development roadmap and this is topped off by pro-forma responses in support channels and forums. Add in the reliance on premium service requirements (to achieve functional basics) and its bloatware - and it cements the feeling that I do not want to deal with Fitbit into the future. 

I hope that Apple and Fitbit can come to some under-the-table-agreement that works for you (soon).
