I have checked settings, turned on GPS for walking / running exercises. I have gone for walk, not tracking distance, it will tell me steps but not km/mi. I don’t know how to make it work? I have my fitbit synced. Anybody have any ideas how this works?
I have been relying on auto-recognising, and it is recognising the walk (but only the steps and time - not distance). I have had my phone with me for each walk also. Does the fitbit app need to be constantly open? Can you not close it down?
I believe it will show distance only if you track the walk/run from the Exercise App, not if it is auto-recognized. I have no idea why that is the case.
Before posting, re-read to see if it would make sense to someone else not looking at your Fitbit or phone.
