Unable to log driving for miscounted steps

[CuriousUser123]

I cant fix the miscount steps when I was in my car and I cant find any way to manually add it as driving so it fixes the miscounted steps.

That was removed, but I see that you've also posted in the Product Feedback forum.

Please note that obscenities will not be tolerated in the Fitbit forums, so it will probably be edited or deleted by a moderator.

Please bring back feature to log in miscounted steps as "driving" in log in activity manually. The fitbit tracker is already lacking as it is in terms of accuracy compared to other trackers out there and removing the only thing that can fix the miscounted steps doesn't do fitbit trackers any good. Why the need to remove this feature? I also have raised this concern on the feedback page but they decide to take it down (granted that I said couple of profanity words in the post). But this doesn't change the fact that they literally remove the only feature that can fix the miscounted steps. Please realize that this is not the only post regarding this topic of fixing miscounted steps and they choose to not do anything about it. This is literally for fitbit's own good and they dont seem to care.

Why was it removed?

Most posters are not Google employees, so we're not privy to that information.

Hello @CuriousUser123 

Bringing back Driving to log miscounted steps is a good suggestion. As you noted, your post in the Product Feedback forum was likely deleted for profanity.

You can add your vote & comments to this feature request: Reintroduce driving & motorbike as manual activity (<-- click link).

Yes yes and yes!!

We still can't pause steps when doing something like driving etc  or delete steps by time I drive 12 hours a day and adds 20 thousand steps everyday.. It has option to delete the whole day but I do walk a bit so I want my actual steps .... I want accuracy and features my whole calorie expenditure is wrong everyday due to this..  I'll be changing when my 6 breaks... I was thinking about it even with the driving activity add feature u can add in certain times at least removes the steps I didn't do while driving and makes all my stat's accurate
