Fitbit does not follow a strict schedule for releasing updates for its devices, including the Versa 4. However, updates are typically rolled out in phases to ensure stability and reliability. This means that not all users receive updates at the same time, and it may take a few weeks for an update to become fully available to everyone.
Recent updates for the Fitbit Versa 4 have included significant features such as Google Pay integration, incoming call handling, and YouTube Playback controls. These updates also often include bug fixes and improvements to existing features, such as enhanced GPS accuracy and auto-recognition of various workout types like running, walking, and biking[1][2][4].
In July 2024, a notable update was released, which included improvements to GPS accuracy and the addition of YouTube Playback controls on the Versa 4[2]. Following this, another update was rolled out in February 2025, which introduced status indicators for features like Do Not Disturb and low battery alerts[9].
Users are advised to keep their devices updated to access the latest features and improvements. Updates can be installed by opening the Fitbit app, navigating to the device page, and following the prompts to download and install the update. It is recommended to have the device connected to a charger during the update process to prevent interruptions[1][4].
