Manually added exercise not logging heart, calorie and step data

[AdeMed]

Yesterday I manually added my fencing session as an exercise (this is logged as Fencing) and unlike previous ones I've logged it's not showing any heart rate, step or calorie data from the period of the exercise.

Not sure why - don't think there's been any software updates in past week? Is this a feature Fitbit has now dropped, I hope not!?

I've just changed phones to Samsung S20 (previously S10E) but both have same operating system (Android 12) so can't see if this would be the reason.

Thanks accote - seems like it's a Fitbit software issue then, hope they fix it soon now they've got all that Google software resource to tap into! Although seems like there's more issues and not less since Google came on the scene.

I was able to manually log a run this morning in the app and get the steps and all that out of it, so you might want to try it and see if it works for you now.

I deleted and re-added the activity from last week and it seems to be OK now. Thanks for the heads up on Fitbit sorting this out.
