Alta HR not tracking steps.

[ZaraB]

Just got a new Fitbit set up on new account. Had it on all day and I just realised it’s not tracked any steps. Does this take time or is it not syncing?

Hello @ZaraB, have a warm welcome to the Fitbit Community, it's great to have you on board. 

I appreciate your participation in the Forums and for sharing your experience with us. Tell me, when you log in to your account in the Fitbit app, are you able to see the Step Tile? Usually when a tile is not showing in the Fitbit app is because of two different reasons:

1. Your tracker has been removed accidentally from the account: To check this, please tap on the Account button and verify that your tracker is listed under your Name. If it's not, please set it up as a new device:
   • Open the Fitbit app and tap on the Account symbol at the top right corner of the screen, then tap on "Set up a New Device"
   • Choose your tracker and follow the onscreen instructions to continue
2. The tile has been removed from the Dashboard and is now invisible: To verify this, please scroll down until you find the Edit button. Tap on it and the invisible tiles will display a plus sign on the top left corner, tap on the plus sign to make them visible again. 

I hope this can be helpful, if you have already checked this and your tracker is not syncing correctly, please try the following:

• Make sure the latest version of the Fitbit app is installed on your phone.
• The software on your mobile device is up to date. To check, tap Settings > General > Software Update.
• Make sure there are no other Bluetooth devices around as they might interfere with the syncing process
• Check that your Fitbit device's battery isn't critically low.

If your device still won't sync, try these steps:

1. Force quit the Fitbit app. 
2. Go to Settings > Bluetooth and turn Bluetooth off and back on.
3. Open the Fitbit app.
4. If your Fitbit device didn't sync, restart your phone.
5. Open the Fitbit app.
6. If your Fitbit device didn't sync, restart it.
7. If your Fitbit device won't sync after the restart, log in to your Fitbit account on a different phone, tablet, or computer and try to sync.
8. If your Fitbit device still doesn’t sync, remove all other Fitbit devices from your account and from the list of connected Bluetooth devices on your mobile device and try to sync.

I hope this can be helpful, give it a try and keep me posted in case you need anything else.
