Track my exercise (walk) with the new app on my iphone

[Jangannon]

How do I track my walk using the new Fitbit app on my iPhone?  On the previous app, I would tap exercise and it would give me a start, stop and pause option and then it would track and map my walk and give me the total distance covered. How do I do this using the new app?  How do I start and stop my walk?

I hope they answer and update soon. This is a huge loss for me. This stinks. Just got a new fitbit otherwise I would be looking for a different tracker.

I agree - the mew format stinks and is not user friendly. I’ve already spent a couple of hours trying to figure out how different things work. Ugghhhh

Nice to know that they destroyed both the Android and the IOS versions of the app.  They need revert back to the old version and offer version 4.? In beta test until it actually works.

Just, finally, found it!!!!! (Been looking online help google etc. for HOURS, even texted with help, got wrong instructions...)

For me on android:

• bottom right when on the today screen is a *** + sign ***
• click it and top left is track live to start both exercise and sleep!!

I sure hope it's the same for you on your iPhone.

Thank you! That works. I wish things like this had been explained. There needs to be a better solution on how to navigate through the changes.

Just need to act like a kid and start pushing buttons. So my wife tells
me. 🙂

I also found it that way. My wife said make sure to hit all the buttons like kids do.

omg, THANK YOU!!

that worked for me (but I have an Android, idk about Apple)...

I can't believe they make these stupid changes and don't even tell people where they put the most important stuff... it seriously makes me wanna throw the whole thing in the garbage...

I had to use the on wrist tracker to track my last walk (AFTER having to search forever just to find the "walk" option and ADD it to the wrist tracker, since it comes with options for weight lifting, swimming, interval, etc., but they literally HIDE the most common exercise!!! you have to delete one of the other exercises for it to even show up as an option!! 🤬)

i swear, they make it worse with every single update... figures Google had to buy Fitbit, so they could ruin it... smh
