Hi @Biker86 there really isn't a way to make your steps completely private, especially if you're doing any challenges with those friends. Friends shouldn't worry how many steps you're taking, but they ought to be more concerned with their own steps. Have you checked your profile to see how friends or anyone can see you?

Why hasn’t this been made
private yet? People have been asking for YEARS for this privacy feature.

It's a bit hard @SunsetRunner to be in a challenge with friends and not have them know the number of steps you take. Even if you're not a friend, others in the challenge see your steps. You can always make things completely private, have zero friends and never do a group challenge - so in that case, it's completely private.

I’m not doing any challenges. And I’ve tried to make my profile as private as possible but would like to be in community groups. I don’t understand why hiding steps isn’t an option.

@SunsetRunner I can't speak for the company, but since Fitbit is all about the steps and so many people want to share their numbers, it seems that making things private would defeat that purpose.
