One of the many things Fitbit Smartwatches can do is make and answer calls. To make a call on Fitbit open the Assistant app and say “Hey Google Call Ashant“. To receive a call tap the green telephone icon and to decline tap the red telephone icon.
How Does Fitbit Calls Work?
When a contact calls your phone, the call is pushed to your Fitbit as a notification. On the notification, you see the answer and reject icons. Tap the green icon to accept and the red icon to reject.
Thanks to the built-in microphone and speaker, you and your caller can hear each other talk. However, for a more private conversation, I recommend connecting to your Bluetooth headsets.
Most importantly, make sure your Fitbit Sense or Versa is connected to the phone for calls to work.
