How Android quick replies work on Fitbit devices

EllenFitbit · ‎08-31-2023

Hey Fitbit Community,

With quick replies you can send customized responses to text messages and messages from certain apps with Fitbit Charge 3, Charge 4, Charge 5, Inspire 3, Luxe, Sense series, or Versa series.

We often see users in the community wondering if quick replies is an available feature on their iOS. Currently this feature is currently available on devices paired to an Android phone. Devices paired to an iPhone can respond to Fitbit app notifications, such as messages, cheers, taunts, and friend requests.

Which apps let me send quick replies from my Fitbit device?

Apps that allow you to reply to a message directly from the notification on your Android phone also support quick replies on your Fitbit device include:

Text messages
Twitter
Facebook Messenger
Line

Note: Devices paired to an iPhone can only respond to Fitbit app notifications.
