Exercises from FitBit don't come into MFP???

My exercise calories are not showing up in MFP. From the MFP site when I paired it to the Fitbit app, it said that it will track steps, and other things but NOT exercise? I have to manually do that? That seems broken if it's already being captured in my Fitbit Charge 2.

Do I have that wrong?

    Individual exercises from Fitbit do not transfer to MFP, this is normal. You will get only a single Fitbit Calorie Adjustment each time the two apps sync throughout the day. The adjustment does not show individual exercise estimates; instead, it calculates the total estimated daily Calorie difference at that point in time and adjusts total Calories earned or subtracted at that point in time. The adjustments will change throughout the day and the final sync will occur at 11:59 P.M.

    ​Please see this article, and search for answers to Frequently Asked Questions and other helpful articles, on the MFP Help/FAQ pages...

    I realize I had to enable steps on this page: https://www.myfitnesspal.com/apps/step_trackers. I would have thought that would happen when I linked Fitbit to MFP. Now that I clicked "select" on Fitbit, how long will it take to start syncing steps?

    A couple of seconds or minutes. Refresh your mfp app by pulling down and the steps should appear soon
