Fitbit's smartwatches now add quick reply functionality

One of the limitations of Fitbit devices is that they can receive notifications but while you can see a message and the sender, these aren't actionable. That's changing today with a new update which will allow quick replies. These will now have five preset responses as well as the ability to create a response provided it is under 60 characters in length. 

Quick Replies on Android

With quick replies, Android users can choose from five pre-populated responses or customize their own replies to text messages and messaging apps like WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger (limited to 60 characters). By default, responses include:

• Yes
• No
• Sounds good!
• Can’t talk now, will reply later
• What’s up?

Users can also respond to a message with select emojis, including: Love struck face, smiley face, crying with laughter face, winky face, heart icon, sad face, crying face, thinking face, or running.

Fitbit has also added female health tracking for female users to be able to accurately track ovulation and menstrual cycles.

Available to all Fitbit app users on iOS and Windows, female health tracking lets you log your menstrual cycle, record symptoms, compare your previous cycles, and see all of your health and fitness stats in one place, giving you the tools to help optimize your health and life planning. With Fitbit Versa and Fitbit Ionic, you can also easily track where you are in your cycle, view when your period is expected, and predict your upcoming fertile window in the on-device dashboard (by swiping up from the clock face).
