Versa 3 is tracking too many steps at midnight

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

My versa 3 / fitbit app has suddenly started tracking a "walk" every night at exactly midnight...I am 100% in bed and not walking around. A couple of nights I've been awake watching TV so I KNOW I'm not moving around enough for it to auto-record like this. It's adding a ton of steps to my count and throwing off what I'm actually doing. Thoughts on what's going on? It started this past Sunday.

Hi there, @MsEmFox. Welcome to the Fitbit Community Forums. Thanks for bringing this to my attention and for the image attached. I'm sorry to hear that your Versa 3 is tracking too many steps at midnight. I understand your concern, I will do my best to help you with this!

By any chance, do you have MobileTrack also linked to your Fitbit account? If you do, please note that MobileTrack could be tracking those extra steps. To verify this, please in the Fitbit app, tap the Today tab > then tap Devices. In this section you'll see your Charge 5 and below your phone (in case MobileTrack is indeed connected). 

If the above describes your situation, you can remove MobileTrack by tapping on the phone's icon and then select "Remove From Account". 

Nevertheless, to make sure that your Versa 3 is accurately tracking your steps, confirm the following are correct in the Fitbit app:

Since we use height to estimate your walking and running stride lengths, you may want to measure and manually adjust these values if your legs are longer or shorter than average. For more information, see How does my Fitbit device calculate my daily activity?

If you want to negate the extra steps, see How do I add, edit, or delete Fitbit data and activities?
