Switching between Alexa and Google Assistant on the Fitbit Versa 4 involves a few steps. However, it's important to note that the Versa 4 initially only supports Alexa, and Google Assistant support might not be available at launch. Here's how you can switch between voice assistants if both are supported:
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Open the Fitbit App: Start by opening the Fitbit app on your connected phone.
2. Access Device Settings: From the Today tab, tap on your profile picture, and then select your Versa 4 device.
3. Disconnect Current Voice Assistant:
- If you are currently using Alexa, go to the Voice Assistant section and select Amazon Alexa. Tap on Logout to disconnect Alexa.
- If you are using Google Assistant (if available), go to the Voice Assistant section and select Google Assistant. Tap on Turn off Google Assistant to disconnect it.
4. Select New Voice Assistant:
- To switch to Alexa, tap on Voice Assistant, then select Amazon Alexa. Follow the prompts to sign in with your Amazon account.
- To switch to Google Assistant (if supported), tap on Voice Assistant, then select Google Assistant. Follow the prompts to activate Google Assistant, which may require installing the Google Assistant app on your phone if it's not already installed.
5. Complete Setup:
- For Alexa, log in to your Amazon account or create one if necessary. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the setup.
- For Google Assistant, follow the on-screen instructions to connect your Google account with Fitbit.
6. Start Using the New Assistant:
- Open the respective app on your watch (Alexa or Google Assistant) and start using voice commands. You don't need to say "Alexa" or "Hey Google" before speaking your request.
Important Notes
- Availability: Ensure that both Alexa and Google Assistant are supported in your region. Currently, the Versa 4 only supports Alexa at launch, but Google Assistant might be added later.
- Background App Requirement: The Fitbit app must be running in the background on your phone for voice assistants to work on the watch.
- Language Support: Both assistants are available in select languages and countries, so check the supported list before attempting to switch.
If Google Assistant is not available for your Versa 4, you might need to wait for future updates that could add this feature.
