Fitbit is a health and fitness tracker that not only lets you stay on top of your daily fitness goals, but also allows you to share it with your friends and the amazing Fitbit community.

If you are adding friends to Fitbit by their email address but are unable to do so, it’s because the email address that you are entering is not associated with their Fitbit profile. Make sure you are using the email address that’s associated with their Fitbit profile.
