This is a solution, but it is not the best you should create the activity, and the user should change the status on the same app which is easier than other people creating the activity and see if it that work or not.

This is not a solution this is an excuse. One possible solution would be for Fitbit to allow you to program a calendar so that each day it knows when you drive because you drive the same time everyday. Another possible solution would be for you to teach the Fitbit a little better so that it knows that driving isn't walking. your suggestion that you can log driving into your activities isn't something that I can see how to do. Would you like to offer a better explanation of how that?

Welcome to the community @BlackStar269
As for logging the time as driving.
Let's go to Fitbit help docs, link to help will be found below.
How do I edit or delete Fitbit data and activities?

The traveBit is an ok Solution, however it should be on the same fitbit app, not in another app. Besides, it is absurd that you pay almos 200 USD, and then pay for another applications to fix the bugs that the fitbit has. The lite bersion of TravelBit does not detect when you are and are not driving. Feeling very disappointed about some feuatures of the fitbit, because you sell this devices like the best fitness trackers, and it can not do something simple as counting steps correctly.
I would like to know why fitbit applications does not have this or detecting driving activities!

Neither of those work well for me. I'm a truck driver, in and out of the truck all day. That's too much logging, and too much taking the tracker off and putting it on of you go the charger route. What works best for me is just going to settings, about, and sittings it down at the beginning of a drive. I've got a clock in whatever I'm driving anyway. When I stop i just hit a button to power it back up. It prevents false step counts and extends my battery life.

This solution is very weak add a feature to the charge 3 where you squeeze the device in a certain pattern to make it stop counting steps until you do the same pattern again charging the device well driving isn’t a solution it’s a work around I expect more from a 200 dollar device thanks hope to see a better solution soon

Mine does the same thing I set it up last night and when I woke up this morning at 8 AM to get my oil changed I’ve apparently burned 900 cal by sitting in the waiting area and walking around Walmart

I cannot find the option “driving” in activities. I see the answer is from 2016. Could it be outdated?

Thank you! I hope one day they can add a one touch button that’ll toggle steps on and off. Like an airplane mode. I’m a Firefighter Emt and get a lot of false data from being in the ambulances, engines, trucks, etc.

That is a fairly cumbersome response, adding driving as exercise counts toward your daily exercise goal, meaning that my daily commute leads to my having "nailed it".
Why not give us a configurable value for speed and if the fitbit is moving beyond that, based on gps shared from the phone, it doesn't count steps?

@BlackStar269 have you added your suggestion to the feature request board. It will be found under the hamburger menu.
Maybe logging the time as driving is a pain, but you asked the Fitbit community of users for help and currently logging as driving is our only option.

I'm an uber driver, and I'd like to still track my heart rate. Given all the programing and analysis you do, and considering how much driving Americans do, it would seem driving could.... or rather, should be detected. You can detect sleep. You can detect other activities, if I'm going more than 15 mph, a 4 minute mile, heck, even biking, my heart rate would be a lot higher than driving, and thus easily detected.

Why in 4 years since this post hasn't this been added as a detected activity?

@Pmheart6 I'm not sure any on the community of Fitbit user's will have an answer for you.

If FITBIT doesn't monitor the forums then they have a major customer service failure.
If there is a link to the vote option I will add my vote.
