Spotify App On Fitbit Versa

 

Your Fitbit device comes preloaded with a variety of apps including Alarms, Weather, and Exercise. From the clock screen, swipe left to see the apps currently installed. Install additional apps using the Fitbit App Gallery.

Apps can be published either publicly or privately. Publicly shared apps appear in the Fitbit App Gallery search results, and are subject to Fitbit review. Privately shared apps, which are typically used for developer testing, can only be found by clicking a direct link to the app. Only install apps from sources you know and trust, and be mindful of what data you share with third parties.

What types of apps are available through the Fitbit App Gallery?

New for the Versa 2 is a Spotify app (for Spotify Premium subscribers only), which allows you to control playback from that service on the watch, provided you have your phone with you. The original Fitbit Versa, Versa Lite & Ionic smartwatches can now play music using the Spotify app. Fitbit has introduced the Spotify app with its Versa 2 smartwatch along with the Amazon Alexa feature. Now, after two months of its launching, the app has come to the other Fitbit smartwatches. On Charge 4, Ionic, and Versa series, use the Spotify app to control the music playing in the Spotify app on your phone, computer, or other Spotify Connect device. Navigate between playlists, like songs and switch between devices from your Fitbit device.

Find and install new apps for your device in the Fitbit App Gallery, which you access from the Fitbit app. The App Gallery offers apps to address a variety of health, fitness, timekeeping, and everyday needs. For example, the Weather app allows you to check your local weather on your wrist. Additional apps are added periodically to the App Gallery, so check back often to find new apps.

Are apps free to download to my Fitbit device?

All apps and clock faces in the Fitbit App Gallery are free to download. However, some apps and clock faces require a paid subscription service (such as Pandora, Spotify, and Deezer) or a one-time activation fee (to a developer). If a developer requires an activation fee, you may see a message in the app or clock face description:

For these apps and clock faces, the developer will process and provide instructions for payment. Many developers use the third party service KiezelPay to accept payment for their app or clock face. You'll see a message on your Fitbit device asking you to visit a website and enter a code. For more information, see KiezelPay’s FAQ. If you decide not to purchase a paid clock face and want to remove the message, change your clock face. For more information, see How do I change the clock face on my Fitbit device?
