Fitbit User Guide: Essential Tips and Tricks
Whether you just bought a Fitbit activity tracker or have had one for years, here's how to get the most out of your device.
Connect with Friends Who Have Fitbits
Fitbit's app lets you connect with other Fitbit users through its Friends feature, which has been proved to keep people motivated. When you connect with friends, you'll see where you rank among them in the number of steps you've taken throughout the week. If you're competitive, you'll naturally want to see your name at the top of that list.
1. Select Friend Finder from the Fitbit's app dashboard.
2. Add friends from your phone contacts list, Facebook or by entering an email address.
