Google Assistant is not included on Versa 4

[SJB14]

I am 1000% sad, angry, disappointed and let down. I need to replace my Versa 3 soon. In researching the Pixel watch, and Versa 4, I decided the new Versa is the best choice for battery life and features......I thought until I noticed there is no Google Assistant on the 4. WHAT??!! I've asked Fitbit and their response is there is no plan to have it on the Versa 4 or Sense 2. No reason given. That is a deal breaker for me. I use GA all the time. Anyone else as fired up as I am?

@SJB14 Nice to see you around the Fitbit Community Forums. 

Thank you for sharing your feedback about this feature. I understand how much you'd like to have this option on Versa 4. You can vote for this feature suggestion: Versa 4 should have Google Assistant. To learn more about how Fitbit decides which suggestions get developed, visit our FAQs. 

If you have other question about this model, don't hesitate to start a new thread. That way you can receive help from the moderators and Community members.

Thank you for your understanding.

@SJB14 Just to clarify: the suggestion that @YojanaFitbit is proposing to vote for is already CLOSED AS NOT CURRENTLY PLANNED. I don't recall any suggestion that when closed as not planned, it has been then implemented. I've asked several times to prove me wrong but no moderators bothered to provide a reply, probably because I'm right.

Now, it is evident that the Google Assistant is probably the most requested feature (or at least its lack is the most complained one in this forum) so it is unclear how the link provided by @YojanaFitbit about how the suggestions are taken in consideration by Fitbit can explain something.

My suggestion is to return the device immediately. In another post one moderators admitted all he knows is what he can read from the documentation (like us) so he has no contact with Fitbit itself. The function could be then in development but all information available (reviews, social media) makes this not likely. So really, I personal don't trust Fitbit to listen to its users.

Yes, @Dopovo it is closed for aditional comments, not votes. 

The best we can hope is if many people over the next month vote. Let's say a thousand or more, fitbit may change. 

We saw this with a celibrstion game that in a few weeks had over 200 separate requests on the the feature board.

What puzzles me is that it took two years for Fitbit to remove features from the previous version and now we have to vote to add it back 🤦‍:male_sign:
