Is it possible to compete in challenges with people without Fitbit?

[yumdomcha]

I really like my Fitbit Alta HR and I do challenges every week and weekend with my friends.  I have a friend who uses a XiaoMi activity tracker.  Is there any way to add him to my challenges?  If it's not possible with the Fitbit app, is there another app that can work across brands?  Thanks.

Hi @yumdomcha and welcome to the forums! Fitbit challenges are for friends who have Fitbit devises and accounts. According to the Help pages, “People who don't have a Fitbit device can still participate in a challenge if they get the Fitbit app and choose MobileTrack during setup. MobileTrack uses your phone to track basic stats like steps and estimated calories burned.” I am not aware of any third party apps that will work across brands but maybe someone on the forum will know.

Hello @yumdomcha, thanks for joining the Fitbit Community, it's great to have you on board. it's nice to see you too @SunsetRunner, thanks for all your help

@yumdomcha, As @SunsetRunner mentioned, if your friends don't have Fitbit trackers, they could download the Fitbit app and set up MobileTrack. However, please keep in mind that MobileTrack is only available for iOS devices and a few Android ones, take a look at our list of compatible devices to check which ones. 

I hope this can be helpful, if there's anything else I can do for you, please feel free to reply.
