in Introduce Yourself
Hey, I’m new here.
A question that is baffling me, when I signed up it was taking my steps into consideration and giving me more calories to eat based on my exercise, it’s now not doing this. Does anyone know why?
Thanks ☺️

    Do you have a Fitbit or similar? Might need to reset the connection.

    Hello New Person. What app are you using to track your steps? Are you on iphone?

    Hey, thanks for your reply. It is synced with my iPhone, it’s still counting my steps but not giving me the extra calories.
    I’ll give it a go. Thanks ☺️

    Hey newbie, try settings, then select steps and select device ie Apple Watch or phone tracker for steps etc..
    this should work if not shout up and I’ll try to help again 😁😁

    Make sure device is checked under more menu / steps

    On the App Click More > Steps > Then Select iPhone (or apple watch if you use that). If the steps are coming through sometimes it helps to unselect it and reselect it. I've had issues with the extra calories coming through in the past.

    Thanks, I’ll give that a go too.
    Still not sure how to work all of this, I didn’t even realise there was a whole world of people connected on here either!! I’ve literally only just discovered that there’s a community of people hahaha

    You could also sync your health app in the apps and devices section of settings.
    This should sync from there and give you the extra cal defisite 😁
