Fitbit’s kids’ smartwatch gets family group chats
Fitbit’s Ace LTE, the smartwatch designed for ages 7+, is introducing new features to help families stay connected and get active together. On Wednesday, Fitbit’s smartwatch for kids, the Ace LTE, is introducing group chats and quests to help families stay connected and get active together.
On Wednesday, Fitbit announced a slew of new features, including group chats, family quests, a new mini-game, and two new watch faces. There’s also a new direct message feature for siblings to text and call each other using their devices.
Ace LTE, launched in May, is designed to provide parents with a sense of security. It allows them to text and call their kids, track their location, and monitor their activity level. The device restricts kids’ ability to add contacts. Instead, guardians can approve and add up to 20 trusted adults to the account, ensuring that communication stays in a controlled network.
A newly introduced feature enhances this experience by enabling a group chat function within the Ace LTE device and the companion Ace app. Anyone within the Google Family can be added to the chat.
