How Do I Get Deezer on Fitbit?
The Deezer app functions on Sense, Ionic, and Versa range. There’s the likelihood that the app will be already installed on your gadget. However, this is dependent on your country since the service is not available everywhere.
If it’s not installed, you can download the Deezer app. After that, ensure you’re connected to Wi-Fi and launch the app on your smartwatch. You’ll receive an activation code which you will need to enter at Deezer/fitbit.com. This is a unique code so type it correctly.
When you enter the code, you’ll be able to access your Deezer account or create one if you’re a new member. This code lasts for a few minutes, so you need to fill it out immediately. If you enter the code on the Fitbit website, it will disappear from your smartwatch.

Besides music, Deezer provides podcasts. This app has more than 40,000 podcasts that you can listen to.
Is Deezer Free For Fitbit?
No. You will need Deezer Premium to use Deezer on Fitbit.
If you don’t want to subscribe to the monthly music service, there’s a free option. The free option has some drawbacks.
- Deezer Free won’t work on your Fitbit,
- There will be ads that will appear when the music is playing,
- You’ll not be able to listen to music when offline,
- You will be limited to mobile devices only. So if you’re going through a tunnel or underground on the subway, you have to wait until you access the signal again.
How Much Does Deezer Cost?
If you want an out-of-the-world musical experience, be ready for a monthly subscription fee. Fortunately, the Deezer subscription is cheaper than any other leading audio streaming service. You can subscribe to Deezer Family ($14.99 per month), Deezer HiFi ($14.99 per month) and Deezer Premium ($9.99 per month).
If you’re a student, you have an option of $4.99 per month, but you must prove that you’ve enrolled in university.
Does Deezer Have an Offline Mode?
Absolutely! If you want to save files to your Fitbit to listen offline, it’s possible with Deezer.
Downloading songs with this app is super easy, and you just need to switch a toggle on your favorite album or playlist you want to download.
How Can I Transfer My Music Files or Podcasts?
It’s not possible. Although this service will allow you to upload your favorite music files, they will not be available on your Smartphone app or smartwatch. Uploading these files is only possible with Fitbit watches that allow direct offline uploads.
Can I Delete Deezer From Fitbit?
