My app is only logging a small portion of my steps. It only shows 6,000 for all of last week, but I do more than that in one day. The device itself shows the correct number. Anyone else have this issue?

@Kesha1616 Welcome! It's nice to have you on board!

 

Let me help you with your missing steps. It sounds as if your tracker isn't syncing. Which phone are you using? Is it compatible? You can try the following:

 

  • Go to your phone's bluetooth settings and remove all devices listed there.
  • Restart your phone and restart your device. 
  • Also, if you are using an Android device, check that your app has the necessary permissions (settings > apps > Fitbit > permissions) and make sure bluetooth and location services (GPS) are on. 
  • You can find additional suggestions here.

Let me know how it goes.
