Vamos a explicarte cómo configurar las alertas de WhatsApp en Fitbit Versa 2, de manera que puedas recibir en el reloj las notificaciones de la aplicación de mensajería. Se trata de una función de Fitbit Versa que ayuda a que puedas elegir qué aplicación de mensajería vincular a tu reloj. Por defecto, lo que te llegarán son los SMS.

Este cambio lo vas a realizar desde la aplicación de Fitbit de tu móvil, en un proceso de muy pocos pasos. Además, también te diremos brevemente cómo personalizar las respuestas que quieras enviar para esas veces en las que no tienes tiempo ni de dictarle una respuesta al reloj.

WHATSAPP Trucos y consejos para OCULTARTE AL MÁXIMO y mantener tu PRIVACIDAD

Lo primero que tienes que hacer es abrir la aplicación de Fitbit donde tengas vinculado el reloj en el móvil. Una vez en ella, pulsa en el botón del busto que tienes en la esquina superior izquierda para abrir la pantalla de opciones de tu cuenta.

Cuando se abra la pantalla Cuenta, tienes que pulsar sobre el dispositivo en el que quieras configurar WhatsApp, en este caso el Fitbit Versa 2.

Entrarás a la pantalla de configuración del dispositivo, en la que desde tu móvil podrás hacer cambios en el reloj. Hay una gran cantidad de opciones, y lo que debes hacer es pulsar sobre la opción Notificaciones que te vas a encontrar en la sección General.

Para configurar WhatsApp como tu aplicación de mensajería por defecto, lo que tienes que hacer es pulsar en la opción Mensajes de texto que te aparecerá arriba del todo dentro de la configuración de Notificaciones.

Si has pulsado en Mensajes de texto, ahora selecciona WhatsApp dentro de la lista y vuelve hacia atrás. Ya está, la aplicación se habrá convertido en la principal a la hora de recibir mensajes de texto, y podrás responderlas con la función de Respuestas de voz que viene activada por defecto en las opciones de las notificaciones.

Si quieres tener una serie de respuestas preconfiguradas que puedas enviar rápidamente al recibir un mensaje en WhatsApp, vuelve a la configuración de notificaciones. Allí, debajo de la opción de Respuestas de voz que necesitas tener activada para dictar las respuestas, pulsa en la opción de Respuestas rápidas.

Ahora, pulsa en WhatsApp para configurar sus respuestas rápidas, y entrarás en una plantilla en la que puedes escribir cinco respuestas rápidas personalizadas que te aparecerán cuando te llegue un mensaje. También puedes elegir una serie de emojis que suelas utilizar para usarlos como respuesta rápida, para lo que tendrás que ir a la pestaña correspondiente.

This process generally takes less than a couple of minutes, so without any further ado, let us get right into it!

About text messaging on your Fitbit Versa 3+ and Fitbit Sense series

While your Fitbit can receive notifications from multiple messaging apps and other apps, you can only reply to messages and app notifications when your Fitbit pairs with an Android device.  Fitbit calls this feature Quick Reply. And it works on Android only.

For iPhone users, your Fitbit shows all your notifications so you can read and review them. However, you won’t be able to respond to them directly from your Fitbit watch or tracker. Currently, the only notification you can respond to when your Fitbits pairs with an iPhone are the Fitbit app notifications.

Additionally, for those Android users, you can only send quick replies using these Fitbit devices: Fitbit Charge 3, Fitbit Charge 4, Fitbit Charge 5, Fitbit Inspire 3, Fitbit Ionic, Fitbit Luxe, Fitbit Sense series, or Fitbit Versa series.

Unfortunately, popular older Fitbits like the Inspire HR or Inspire 2 do not support quick replies, even when paired with an Android phone.

To respond to messages from your Fitbit, your phone must be nearby with Bluetooth turned on and the Fitbit app running in the background.

How to sync your phone’s text messages to your Fitbit Sense or Versa 3+
  1. Make sure that you turned on Bluetooth on your phone by going into the phone’s settings (or by using the status bar)
  2. Open the Fitbit app
  3. Tap the Today tab and tap on your profile picture or icon
  4. Select your Fitbit device from the list (for this article, your Versa 3)
  5. Scroll down and under General, tap Notifications
  6. Toggle on Calls if it’s not already on and you want your calls to push to your Fitbit.
  7. Then, tap Text Messages, Calendar Events, and Emails to ensure notifications are on and review the apps set up as the primary for each category. You won’t see these options for iPhones; toggle on the notifications you wish to see.
  8. Tap App Notifications and turn on any app notifications you want to appear on your Fitbit. Scroll down to review all available apps that can send notifications to your Fitbit.
  9. Sync your Fitbit with the Fitbit app to update any changes using the Sync Now function
    1. If you see an option called All Day Sync, turn this on so that you won’t miss any notifications (older Fitbit app versions only)

For the calendar sync, your Sense or Versa shows notifications from all calendars synced to your iPhone’s Calendar app. For Android, the calendar syncs with your chosen calendar app when you set up your Fitbit Versa or Sense.

Enable your Fitbit Sense’s or Versa’s Quick Reply features (Android only)

Your Fitbit allows you to read and reply to new text messages using the Quick Reply feature.  

Unfortunately, at this time, Quick Reply work with Android devices only; it is not available for Fitbits paired to Apple iPhones and other iOS & iPadOS devices.

About Fitbit’s Quick Reply for Android

With the Fitbit app’s Quick Reply Settings, you can reply via text or voice to messages and notifications from certain apps directly on your Fitbit with either preset written quick replies or by speaking a reply directly into your Sense, Sense 2, Versa 2, Versa 3, or Versa 4 to respond to messages.

At this time, Quick Replies for Android work with Fitbit Charge 3+, Inspire 3, Ionic, Luxe, Fitbit Sense series, or Fitbit Versa series.

Voice replies only work on Fitbits with a microphone, such as the Sense series or Versa 2 and above models, and you must turn on your Fitbit’s microphone via the Settings app.

How to respond to a message on your Fitbit 
  1. Open the notification you want to respond to on your Fitbit itself.  
  2. Choose how you want to reply:
    1. Tap the text icon (3 lines) to respond to a message from a premade quick replies list.
      1. Each app has 5 default text quick replies.
    2. Tap the emoji icon to respond to the message with an emoji.
    3. Tap the microphone icon to respond to the message using voice-to-text.
      1. To use the microphone to respond to messages, turn on Microphone access in the Settings app.
      2. Only the Fitbit Sense series or Versa 2+ support voice replies
  3. On some Fitbits, you need first to tap Reply or Replies. Then, choose a text reply or tap the emoji icon.
    1. If you don’t see an option to reply, quick replies aren’t available for the app that sent the notification.

How to change and write your quick reply
  1. In the Fitbit app, tap the Today tab and tap your profile picture or icon.
  2. Tap your Fitbit device > Notifications and scroll down to Reply Settings.  
  3. Toggle on Voice Replies if you want this feature.
  4. Tap Quick Replies.
  5. To change the default quick replies for all apps, tap Default Replies or the app you want to change the quick replies for.
  6. Tap the quick reply you want to change and type in your text–up to 60 characters. 
  7. Tap the back arrow to return to the list of apps and save the changes.
  8. Finally, sync your device to update the quick replies on your Fitbit.

You don’t have to use all the same quick replies for each app. To customize your replies for each app, tap on the app and create your custom replies. Any responses made for a specific app override your defaults.

Want to change the emoji options for quick replies?
  • Follow steps 1-4 and choose the EMOJI tab.
  • Tap an emoji you want to change.
  • Scroll through and select your preferred emoji.
  • Tap the back arrow to return to the list of apps and save the changes.
  • Finally, sync your device to update the quick reply emojis on your Fitbit.

Don’t forget that such features rely on your phone’s connection to send and receive messages. So, you’ll have to be in Bluetooth range with the phone for any Reply Settings to work. 

As a reminder, quick replies on Fitbit currently only work with Android devices. If you are on iOS or Windows, you are limited to Fitbit app notifications.

How to get notifications from WhatsApp or Messenger

As mentioned, you choose one app as your primary messaging app to send and receive texts on your Fitbit Sense or Versa.

Fitbit prioritizes the app you selected as your primary text messaging app.

To get WhatsApp or other text messaging app notifications, make sure you turn on WhatsApp, Snapchat, Messenger, or any other app in your Fitbit app’s notification settings.

  1. Open the Fitbit app on your phone.
  2. Tap on the Today tab and select your Fitbit.
  3. Tap on Notifications > App Notifications.
  4. Scroll down the list of apps and toggle on or checkmark WhatsApp, Messenger, and any other third-party apps you want notifications sent to your Fitbit.

Are notifications not showing up on your Fitbit?

To receive notifications on your Fitbit, your phone must be nearby with Bluetooth turned on and the Fitbit app running in the background.

If you change your primary messaging app from its factory default, it’s a good idea to ask someone to send you a message from the new primary messaging app.

For example, if you changed it to WhatsApp, ask a friend to send you a WhatsApp message, then check to see if it arrived on your Fitbit.

Text notifications disappearing or not staying on your Fitbit’s screen very long?

Notifications automatically disappear from your Fitbit once you review that message on your paired phone.

This is intended behavior and cannot be changed.

Check that Do Not Disturb is off

If you still don’t get any notifications, we recommend making sure your phone is not set to Do Not Disturb.

  1. Swipe right from the clock face to access quick settings.
  2. Check if the do not disturb icon (minus icon) is not illuminated. If so, tap it once to turn it off.

DND mutes notifications not only on the phone but also on the Fitbit watch.

Fitbit Versa 2 Review - Wildly Helpful Electronics Tips

After launching Fitbit's first smartwatch, Ionic, the company struggled to compete with the likes of the Apple Watch and Garmin's dedicated running watch.

Then came the Fitbit Versa and it turned the company's fortunes around. So it's no surprise that Fitbit quickly followed suit with cheaper and more stripped-down Versa Lite smartwatches, as well as reworking the original Versa into a vastly improved Versa 2.0003

Fitbit Versa 2: key specs

Display: 300 x 300 pixel AMOLED touchscreen
materials: Aluminum watch case
Connectivity: Bluetooth 4. 0 and 902.11 b/g Waterproof: Up to 50m
Sensors: 3-axis accelerometer, optical heart rate sensor, altimeter, ambient light sensor, vibration motor, NFC, microphone and SpO2 9 relative sensor0024 Battery life: 5 days of typical use

With this wearable, Fitbit has proven once again that you don't always need top-notch features to create an amazing fitness watch, and it doesn't need to burn a hole in your wallet. Unlike most other smartwatches on the market, the Versa 2 doesn't replace your phone - in fact, you could call it a dumb version of a smartwatch. And that doesn't necessarily mean a bad thing. The

Versa 2 is aimed at fitness-minded users rather than those looking for productivity from a wearable, making it the complement of Fitbit’s excellent fitness tracker, but with some added perks.

While health and activity tracking takes center stage, Versa 2 bridges the gap between phone and wrist by offering messages and calendar notifications, ways to control your smart home setting, and play music from your phone while you run or work out.

Fitbit Versa 2 price and release date

  • Starting price $199 / £199 / AU$329
  • Versa 2 Special Edition is $229 / £219.99 / AU$379

Fitbit announced the Versa 2 on August 28 ahead of IFA 2019, where the company showed the device to the public for the first time. The Versa 2 is available to buy now and you can buy it from the Fitbit website or major retailers, either in-store or online.$9.95 / AU$329.95 although there is a Special Edition version that sells for $229.95 / £219.99 / $379 and comes with a Mist Gray or Copper Rose chassis and premium webbing -class in a box.

At launch, the Versa 2 is priced the same as its predecessor in the US and UK, but it's slightly higher in Australia and, at the time of writing, is on par with the Apple Watch Series 3 in most regions.

With the purchase of Versa 2, you'll also get a seven-day free trial of Fitbit Premium, the company's fitness service subscription. Those on the Special Edition Versa 2 get a 90-day free trial of Fitbit Premium (more on this feature later).

Design and display

  • Retains ‘squircle’ design
  • New always-on AMOLED display
  • Single button

When it comes to design, Fibit's mantra seems to be one of 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it'. The 'squircle' design of the Apple Watch and the original Versa seems to have been adopted by users, and Fitbit has carried this over to the Versa 2. At first glance, the new fitness watch looks strikingly similar to its predecessor, but a closer look reveals a few small tweaks that give the Versa 2 very stylish look.

At 0.47 inches (12mm) deep, it’s only a tad thicker than the Apple Watch 3, but as the case tapers towards the heart monitor, it actually looks thinner. And, with a screen size of 40mm, it should fit most wrists.

Tapered chassis makes it thinner than it actually is

Luckily, Fitbit has removed its branding from the Versa's bottom bezel, which means the bezels on the Versa 2 are slightly thinner, giving you a little more screen than before. While the display's black background is usually pretty good at masking the bezels, they're pretty obvious from some angles, though they're easy to ignore.

Where the original Versa had three buttons on the chassis - two on the left and one on the right - the Versa 2 has only one button on the left and serves as both a 'select' and 'back' button. This means you're never more than a tap or two away from the feature you need to access while any other navigation you need to do is done using the touchscreen.

One button gives Versa 2 a more minimal look

Speaking of the screen, it’s one of the major improvements worth mentioning. Unlike the LCD on the Versa, the second generation Fitbit smartwatch came out in 2019 with a bright AMOLED touchscreen protected by Gorilla Glass 3. far too bright for general use, setting our Versa 2 to its lowest brightness setting almost forever. Even on ‘dim’ When set up, the 300 x 300 resolution screen looks crisp and thanks to the ambient light sensor is able to adjust the brightness to suit the environment.’ again.

The always-on display doesn't have too many customization options

Another big feature Fitbit added to the Versa 2 is the always-on option. It's off by default and you'll need to go to the watch's Settings Panel to change this selection. While it’s nice to be able to see the watch face without having to move your hand, it should be noted that when set to always, it limits your default settings to an analog or digital watch face that you can’t change. Also, if you choose this setting, the battery life will be almost half as long..

Interface and performance

  • Faster processor
  • Easy to use interface
  • Fitbit Pay works well
  • 5+ days battery life

Visual satisfaction aside, the Versa 2 is a faster watch than its predecessor thanks to a new processor under the hood. It’s not to say that the original Versa suffered from any kind of lag or performance issues, but if you’ve used it before and upgraded to Versa 2, you will notice a noticeable difference in the smoothness of the experience. Navigating between pages, launching and closing apps, and displaying new health data in the Today bar (accessed by swiping up on the screen) is faster than before..

Like all other Fitbit devices, the Versa 2 has a pretty decent battery life. Fitbit claims you can get five days with standard usage. We were able to increase it to six days, but this may have been because the screen brightness was turned down to its minimum setting. that there are hundreds of designs to choose from that you can find on the Fitbit app. However, you can only save one watch face at a time - which means that every time you want to change you'll have to go back to the store, scroll through the options and select the one you want and save it, deleting the one you before, and so repeat the loop if you want to return to the previous view.

Swipe to launch apps

(Image credit: Future)

Swipe from right to left to access the app launcher, each page will list four app shortcuts. They can be changed to your liking by lightly tapping and holding down to’tactile feedback. For a quick look at how you're doing today, simply swipe up to launch Fitbit Today data - this panel displays up to seven items of your choice and can include total steps, steps per hour, heart rate , sleep statistics, and food and water intake. This setting can be made using the Versa 2’s Settings app.

Swipe down and you'll access notifications, and by default you can access Quick Settings, music controls, and Fitbit Pay. The quick settings let you toggle between Do Not Disturb, Sleep, Always-On Display, Screen Brightness (only three options to choose from: Dim, Normal, and Maximum), and Screen Wake ( automatic or manual).

Fitbit is quick to point out that the Spotify app comes with the Versa 2, but it's important to note that the app can only act as a remote, controlling the music played by the Spotify app on your phone. So you won’t just be able to use the Versa 2 to listen to offline Spotify playlists, although Deezer and Pandora are capable of doing so. However, you can add your own music files to the device with 2.5 GB reserved for local music storage..

The lack of a GPS chip can be an obstacle for many. Every time you go for a run, walk or bike ride, you will need to take your phone with you to get location information. And if you're planning on getting yourself a Versa 2 and taking your phone with you wherever you go, then you might not be able to complain about the Versa 2's lack of offline Spotify support.

you want Versa 2 to start logging data

(Image credit: Future)

To keep track of your fitness, all you have to do is select the exercise app on the watch and select the activity you’re about to plunge into. If you don't, the wearable is smart enough to log any activity as an exercise that's 20 minutes or more thanks to Fitbit's SmartTrack technology. Sleep tracking is automatic.

If you're an iPhone user, you won't be able to reply to messages directly from the Versa 2. Android users can, though there's a major caveat: there are currently only five default quick replies to choose from, though they can be customized in the Fitbit app.

On the Versa 2 multifunction keyboard, you can press and hold the Alexa button (more on voice command integration later) or Fitbit Pay. If your bank supports Fitbit Pay, then we’d recommend using the button for contactless payments as, in our experience, interacting with Alexa can be quite inconvenient.

Alexa integration

The addition of Amazon's Versa 2 voice assistant means the wearable should be able to do a lot more than its predecessor. To use the voice assistant on your new watch, you first need to download the dedicated Alexa app on your phone and link your Amazon account to the Fitbit app. Despite all this, there are still limits to what Alexa can do for you.

By long pressing the side button or swiping down the screen to call up Alexa (you can't use the wake word to call the digital assistant), you can find out what the weather is like in your area, set reminders and timers, start an exercise, and even manage smart home settings. You cannot, however, make a call or reply to messages.

Alexa is handy, but functionality is limited

(Image credit: Future)

Alexa's text-only responses to queries - inaudible - which, combined with the fact that you need your fingers to call the voice assistant, proves to be inconvenient when your hands are full.

Another major problem with Alexa on your Versa 2 is that you have to leave the Fitbit app running in the background on your phone in order to use voice commands.

Alexa responses on Versa 2 can be a bit slow0003

(Image credit: Future)

During our testing, we found using Alexa to be a conflicting experience - most often it took a few tries for Alexa to respond and the screen said Alexa was "thinking". When Alexa is running, it’s painfully slow, although that’s because the voice commands are sent to Amazon’s servers and the responses then travel back.

In short, while the addition of Alexa is a nice touch, the functionality is limited and unreliable at best.

Fitness and sleep tracking

  • Your sleep is now scored
  • Covers most exercise types
  • Additional premium features hidden behind paywalls

Fitbit is known for packing its trackers full of fitness features, and the Versa 2 is no different. While you can start an exercise by selecting an option in the exercise app on your watch, the Versa 2 can record exercises automatically.

However, there are some drawbacks to using this SmartTrack technology: firstly, you need to have your phone with you so that the GPS can record location information, and secondly, you won't be able to see real-time statistics (exercise duration, distance traveled, etc. will only appear when the device knows you have finished).

When you select an exercise, only some of them give accurate statistics, and one of them is swimming tracking. For something like biking or jogging, we found that without its own built-in GPS, the Versa 2 didn't clock the correct distance covered. As long as you have your phone, the Fitbit app calculates your stride length to give you more accurate information.

You'll get a sleep score on the free version of the FItbit app, but a total breakdown on the Fitbit Premium

(Image credit: Future)

It's sleep tracking that we thought the Versa 2 excelled at. First, the device is light and comfortable enough to wear all night long. Second, Fitbit's previously confusing sleep stats have been redone, and you now get points for every night you've slept.

Sleep Score takes into account how long you’re awake, the duration of your light and deep sleep, anxiety and REM sleep, then spits out a number. On the free version of the Fitbit app, you only see the score, but if you choose to subscribe to Fitbit Premium, you get a full breakdown of the score, telling you how much lower your heart rate is below resting while you sleep, how restless you are. were, REM percentage, deep and light sleep. It even gives you a comparison of 30 days’ worth of data if you want to see if your sleep patterns have improved.

Fitbit Premium is not a standalone app but can be used from the Discover tab in the main Fitbit app.

(Image credit: Future)

Fitbit Premium is a convenient way to keep track of your overall fitness level and find ways to improve your health and activity. For $9.99/month – or $79.99/year (i.e.’£7.99/month or £79.99 in the UK and AU$14.99/month or 129AUD per year) - you get access to guided programs and workouts, personalized analytics and the ability to upload data to show your doctor later if necessary. It also includes all the step-by-step workouts you'll find on Fitbit Coach.

Please note that Fitbit Premium is not an add-on. The Discover tab in the main Fitbit app shows what's on offer in Fitbit Premium and from there, if you select a specific option, it will ask you if you want to sign up or not.

While Fitbit Premium is definitely worth it for those who are determined to regain their health, the free version of the app will do everything to keep you on the right track. Outside of sleep tracking, the Fitbit app has’since the Ionian, every day’s data is neatly displayed on the dashboard. Progress on each metric is shown as a circle that moves clockwise as you move towards your goal.

The Fitbit app hasn't changed much over the years

To set your goals, you can go to the Account tab, which can be accessed by clicking on the small icon in the top left corner of the toolbar. It’s the same in iOS and Android. From here, you can even set up another Fitbit device and set up your Versa 2.

judgment

if you’ve never used the original Versa and are in the market for new smartwatches at a reasonable price, then the Versa 2 is a compelling proposition. With physical design changes and a stunning display, the Versa 2 looks like a premium wearable that will look good on just about anyone, while the addition of Alexa offers something different from the Fitbit range, even though it’s not perfectly implemented.

And while it might not support all messaging platforms (like Slack), you'll get notifications for most other popular texting services, including WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger. and affordable device is much more attractive to wear..

Should you buy this?

Versa 2 may be difficult to recommend to those who already use the original Versa or Ionic. In the end, you'll get all the benefits of Fitbit's excellent ecosystem with any of the older wearables. That said, if you're looking for an upgrade or a little change, and they're currently hooked into the Fitbit ecosystem, the Versa 2 is definitely a more compelling option than its predecessor - it has a better screen, is faster, and ships after all. with voice assistant.

However, if you’ve never used a smartwatch before and are looking for something on a budget. Apple Watch 3 and Samsung Galaxy Watch Active are available at about the same price - they have GPS, built-in music, and NFC support for contactless payments. 2 for you? Try some of the options below for your next smartwatch.

Apple Watch 3

It's fair to say that Apple dominates the smartwatch space and the price of the Series 3 has dropped significantly since the launch of the Apple Watch 5, so' It's hard to get through. It offers a lot more premium features and a better user experience than the Versa 2. It does lose battery life in the process - you'll be charging your Apple Watch 3 virtually every day, while the Versa 2 will run constantly for about five.
