Syncing your Fitbit Inspire ensures your activity data, sleep logs, and other stats are up-to-date in the Fitbit app. Your Fitbit device will automatically sync with the app when it's nearby and Bluetooth is enabled. However, if you need to manually initiate a sync, it's a simple process.
Manual syncing is useful if you've been away from your phone for a while or if you notice your data isn't updating automatically.
Here are the steps to manually sync your Fitbit Inspire using the Fitbit app:
Steps to Manually Sync Your Fitbit Inspire
To force your Fitbit Inspire to sync with the app:
- With your device nearby, open the Fitbit app and tap Today . This will take you to the main dashboard of the app.
- Press and hold on the screen and pull down. You will typically see a loading indicator appear, signifying that the app is attempting to connect with your Inspire and transfer the latest data.
Once the sync is complete, you should see your most recent activities and metrics reflected in the app.
Why Sync Your Fitbit?
Regular syncing is essential for several reasons:
- Updated Data: See your latest steps, distance, calories burned, active zone minutes, sleep stages, and more.
- Accurate Progress Tracking: Monitor your fitness goals and progress over time.
- Receive Notifications: Ensure your device receives settings updates, goals, and potentially notifications from your phone (if enabled).
- Data Backup: Your data is stored in your Fitbit account via the app.
While automatic syncing is the default and most convenient method, knowing how to perform a manual sync provides a quick way to refresh your data whenever needed.
