My app has updated for my Fitbit inspire 2. How do I now track exercise, e.g a run or a walk so I can see a map of where I’ve been and how many miles I’ve done. It’s like the update has now made the app harder to use

Hello @Bellamatilda1 and welcome to the Community.  It sounds like you are tracking your exercise from the Fitbit app, where the only choices are walk, run, and hike.  If so, tap in the green "+" in the lower right of your screen, then Start exercise in the Track live area of the pop up.  This should take you to your familiar screens.

I have an Inspire 3.  It does not have its own GPS but uses the GPS from my phone app.  A few times, the phone app and the Inspire three did not connect and no GPS data was captured.  Lately, I've started making sure the Fitbit app on my phone is open and doing a sync just before I leave to make sure communications  are good.  I haven't had a problem since I started doing that.
