How do I enable auto-pause on Charge 3?

[DinnyCull]

Hi, I'm new to the fitbit family and my fitbit doesn't autopause when I'm out running, how do I set this up please? Thank you

Welcome on board @DinnyCull, it's nice to have a new member here! 😊

For certain Fitbit devices, if you stop moving during the run or bike exercises—such as at a traffic light—your exercise pauses automatically while you’re still (known as auto-pause). Your device vibrates to indicate that activity tracking paused. 

To continue, resume your run or bike ride; your device vibrates again to indicate that activity tracking continued. For runs, if your watch doesn’t detect a run for 10 consecutive minutes, you’ll see a message asking if you want to end the exercise.

To turn off/on auto-pause:

1. On your device, open the Exercise app > Run. 
2. Swipe up on Charge 3.
3. Find Auto-Pause and change the setting to Off/On.
4. Press the back button to return to the exercise screen.
5. Tap the exercise screen and then tap the play icon to start the workout.

I hope this answers your question! Let me know if there's anything else I may do to assist.

hi, is this option also available on charge 4 for biking?

Would also be keen to know if auto pause is available for the bike option. When I swipe up on that exercise there’s no option, unlike for run where I can toggle on or off

Your instruction do not reflect what I have on my Fitbit device: there is no other options than GPS on or off when I swipe up on exercise app.

Please check your instructions.
