When i go into the settings on the fitbit app and turn off auto detection, it still keeps on doing it. It’s extremely annoying, as it also thinks i’m running every time i’m going for a walk. I try to turn it off all the time, but every day i have to delete many exercises that never happened from both the Fitbit app and Strava (where it sends the workouts to)

@EirikHolan The Sense 2/Versa 4 have an additional auto detection feature that is part of the Exercise app. This is different from the auto recognition that you turned off in the Fitbit app. This Auto Detect is in the Walk, Run and Bike shortcuts. You must turn them off in each shortcut if you want them off. To turn it off in Run:
- Short press the button, then open the Exercise app
- Choose Run
- Swipe up on the tiny "^" on the bottom of the screen
- Swipe up to Run Detect and toggle it Off
Repeat these steps in the Walk and Bike shortcuts.
