How to add friends in FitBit account?

Are you wondering how to add friends to your Fitbit account? Well, you're in luck because the process is quite simple. In this article, we will guide you through the steps to add friends to your Fitbit account using the Fitbit app. Let's get started!

First, open the Fitbit app on your device. Once the app is launched, you will see a variety of tabs at the bottom of the screen. Tap on the "U" tab, which is located in the bottom right corner.

After tapping on the "U" tab, you will see different options. Look for the "Friends" tab and tap on it. This will take you to the section where you can manage your friends on Fitbit.

In the "Friends" section, you will find an option to add friends. Tap on the "Add Friends" button. This will open up a list of different ways you can add friends to your Fitbit account.

One way to add friends is by connecting your contacts. If you have an iPhone, you can sync your contacts with Fitbit and send friend invitations to those who are already using Fitbit. This is a quick and convenient way to add friends from your existing contacts list.

Alternatively, you can send friends invitations via email. If you have someone's email address who is using Fitbit, you can simply enter their email address and send them an invitation to become friends on Fitbit.

If you know the username of the person you want to add as a friend, you can also search for them using their username. Enter their username in the search bar provided and select the correct user from the results. Once you have selected the user, you can send them a friend invite.

When someone accepts your friend invitation, they will be able to see your display name, profile photo, about me information, and the date you joined Fitbit. By default, they will also see your step count unless you've adjusted your privacy settings. Additionally, they will have access to any other information you have chosen to share with friends and groups.

It's important to note that adding friends is not just about socializing but can also be useful for other purposes. Sometimes, you may need to add friends as a first step to set up a family in Fitbit. Managing family members in Fitbit can be a bit confusing, and adding friends initially can help in assigning them as family members later on.

In conclusion, adding friends to your Fitbit account is quite straightforward. You can connect your contacts, send invitations via email, or search for friends by username. Once your friends accept your invitation, they will have access to certain information, depending on your privacy settings. Remember, adding friends can be beneficial for setting up a family in Fitbit as well. So, go ahead and start adding friends to your Fitbit account and enjoy a more socially connected fitness journey.
