Exercise option for Driving removed

[RHStarkJr]

• Exercise option for Driving was removed last month in the latest Android app update without any notice. This option is used to delete false steps while driving but still registering calories. As a result, my steps are now overstated. Please reinstall Driving option ASAP!

I agree. I'm on a tractor quite often and used Driving to remove the steps. Does anyone know if Fitbit offered an alternative?

The driving activity under manual activity logging has been removed which means steps are over counted. Bouncing around on bumpy roads or a tractor off road leaves me with massively exaggerated steps. If was a faff to have to manually log driving but at least it allowed more accurate data than currently is available. What is the point of having a system that provides useless data?

Also following up on this, I have a charge 6. I ride a motorcycle for daily commute and that's what I use to delete steps.

Seriously, what happened to that? I need SOME way to tell it not to count those steps. If there's another way, fine. But not that I can tell.

Hey Lizzy, i notice there were some updates to the app today, but still no driving. Is Fitbit so smug they think the devices always count correctly?
