Track > Tracking devices/Apps

Track > Add Activity manually
Can I manually add steps?
No. Steps cannot be manually added to MyLife.
Why is some of the data from my Tracker/App missing on MyLife?
We’re reliant on the data your tracker/app sends across to us so if this information is not included, it cannot be displayed in our app.
Why does my step count appear higher in the App than the steps I’ve done?
If you are tracking your steps through your phone any vibration to your phone can cause it to count steps which leads to a higher count in the app.
Why is my Tracker/App not syncing with MyLife?
Some external devices/apps transfer data to MyLife via their connection multiple times a day. Other external devices/apps only provide MyLife with one daily transfer of data via their connection.
Because of this, at certain times throughout the day MyLife may appear to have fewer steps than your tracker/app. It is recommended to wait up to 24 hours for syncing of data to occur.
