How do I turn off the auto pause on my Versa 4?

[Ankido]

Hi all,

How can I disable the auto-pause feature that's interfering with my training?
For example, I ran five miles today, but my watch only tracked two miles because the tracking stopped mid-run. I've noticed this happens when I take a short rest—the watch asks if I want to continue or stop the training. Is there a way to make it continue tracking automatically without pausing?

Hi there, @Ankido. It's nice to see you around the Fitbit Community Forums. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I will be glad to help you with this! 

In order to turn off auto-pause on your Versa 4, follow the steps below:

• On your device, open the Exercise app Run.
• Swipe up to open the exercise settings.
• In the Auto-pause section, tap the switch to turn on the setting.
• Swipe down to return to the exercise screen, then tap the Play icon to start the workout.

Note: Exercise types that support this feature vary by device.

Yup, working now. Thank you 😊 

Note: On my watch, I selected Run. Before starting the activity, I swiped up to access the Settings menu, where I found many useful features.
