Can my phone keep track of my steps because my watch needs charging and I can't wait for it to charge?

Yes, you can use Mobile Track for free.  It's right in the Fitbit app, just set up a device just like you did when you set up your Charge 5.  The only difference is instead of selecting a device for the "Select A Device" section, select "Mobile Track" and follow the prompts.

No problem, it's saved me a time or 20 when I've forgotten to charge my device!

So now that my charge 5 is charged and ready to go do I have to shut down the mobile tracker? When I went to do that it said I would loss data if I unpaired. Do I just leave the mobile tracker on... Not sure if it runs down phone faster??
