Bring back driving log activity to the Fitbit app

[Mselle]

Numerous complaints involve users getting numerous steps while they are actually driving, yet you've removed the ability to log driving. Why won't you finally address and fix this incredibly common issue?

Why have Google done this? After a day in my tractor the app decided i had taken 30k steps and burned 7k calories. When i had my previous fitbit (pre Google takeover) you could manually log driving as an activity which would correct the issue. Now that driving has been removed i can't see an easy way to correct the data. During the summer i spend on average 16 hours a day in a tractor, the removal of a feature has made the app neigh on useless to me for at least three months of the year

The feature is missing from the app, and was supposedly brought back only to disappear again. Looking through previous forum entries had moderators claim it was reintroduced, or linking to an article that says you can delete a time range via "step tile>manage data>steps" but that doesn't exist anymore, it's only deleting the whole day.

Manually logging in drive time under Driving activity was a very useful feature to negate the data erroneously recorded by fitbit. This is especially useful when driving on hilly/ bumby roads en route Trekking/ hiking trips.

Have they STILL not done this? People have been asking for this for so long (10+ years!). IIRC there used to be a workaround for it, then they updated the app and the workaround no longer existed. I stopped using my Fitbit after that as it became practically useless for recording accurate step data as the majority of my daily driving is done on bumpy countryside roads, logging a tonne of additional steps each drive. Good luck to you mate but I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for this feature!
