Fitbit app shows exercises I haven't done

Replies are disabled for this topic. Start a new one or visit our Help Center.

I just noticed that my Fitbit app is showing a run last night  that I did not do.  I generally do not run.  Also, it was at 8 PM when I was pretty much at home and sedentary.  I notice as well that my step counts seem to be much more than I have been walking.  It is ofcourse tracking  my workouts as well.   So I’m surprised.  Could it be that my app is syncing to someone else’s Fitbit in the neighborhood as well?

@Portia82 It's great to see you in the Community! Sorry for the delay in my reply.

Let me help you with your app showing exercises you haven't done. This is odd. Remember that your tracker is a motion sensor so if there is any movement subjected to the tracker then it may sense steps or even activities. For example this has happened with users when they are on a rocking chair or knitting at night. You may be comfortable watching tv on your living room but if you are on a rocking chair there is movement and this may be interpreted as an activity. These are only examples though. By the way the app won't connect with any other trackers than the ones linked to it so it can't be the activity of a different user. I also want to know if you have a third party app linked to your account or if you have manually logged an activity. In these cases the first one will may log an activity for the second one you may have entered the incorrect time for it. Please check that none of these situations apply to your tracker. Finally you can restart it by following these instructions.

Let me know how it goes.
