To add apps to your Fitbit Sense 2, you install them through the Fitbit smartphone app's Gallery, not directly on the watch.
How to add apps to Fitbit Sense 2
- Open the Fitbit app on your phone with your Sense 2 nearby.
- Tap the Today tab, then tap your device tile (your profile picture or device image).
- Tap Gallery.
- Tap the Apps tab.
- Browse the available apps and tap the one you want.
- Review any requested permissions, then tap Install.
- Tap Install again to confirm the permissions.
The app will sync to your watch automatically once installation completes. If you haven't completed your Fitbit setup and pairing, the watch must be connected to the app before apps can transfer.
How to update and manage your installed apps
Updating apps
- Open the Fitbit app and go to Today > your device tile > Gallery.
- Find the app in the list (you may need to swipe up to locate it).
- Tap Update next to the app.
Removing apps
- In the Fitbit app, go to Today > your device tile > Gallery.
- Tap the app you want to remove.
- Tap Uninstall.
You can also remove apps directly on your watch: swipe left on the clock face, long-press the app icon, and select Remove. Removing an app frees up storage space.
Important limits and restrictions to know
Your Fitbit Sense 2 can hold up to 39 apps at one time. If you reach this limit, you must uninstall an app before installing another. Installing too many apps can potentially affect the performance of your device. Additionally, as of June 2024, users in the European Economic Area can no longer install third-party apps or clock faces on the Sense 2. This restriction applies only to accounts registered in that region.
