Hey, so I like to use my phone to track my exercise because the distance is more accurate. Is there anyway to get the heartrate from my charge to show up on the workout started and tracked through my phone?

Hi @Jgunz. Welcome to the Community Forums.

 

I'm glad that you enjoy tracking your exercises through your phone, and let me help you with your inquiry. Currently the heart rate data will be added to your exercise details just when starting an activity from your Fitbit or when manually logging an exercise. However, to use MobileRun which is the feature to record certain activities using your phone's GPS you'll not be able to see heart rate data recorded. What I recommend is to verify if your Fitbit can track GPS data by checking this help article. This way you can  use the exercise app and record your distance and heart rate data.

 

If you need anything else, keep me posted.
