One of the main reasons I got the Versa was so my steps (& the calories burned from walking), as well as my yoga sessions, would automatically show up in MyFitnessPal. 

 

So far, it doesn't look like it works. Anyone have any insight?

@nmo9 Welcome to the Versa fam! Smiley Happy

 

Each Third-party integration will share different data from one app to the other. In this case, Fitbit does not transfer activity logs to MFP. Instead, only activities from MyFitnessPal are synced to Fitbit as manually logged activities. To read more, check out this post. In addition, you can learn more about how Third-party apps work here. Hope this helps you out!

The post you linked in your answer indicates that steps will transfer from Fitbit to MyFitnessPal. I have the Versa and it is not transferring the steps. Is there a way to make this happen.
