The app isn't tracking my steps

Got to a screen about go for a short walk on the setting that says: connect to google fit.
Then it says take 10 more steps! I think I walked about a block and not a damn thing :face_vomiting:

But if I said track the device? no problem!
Wtf?!
I’ve found about a billion complaints on th̶i̶d̶d̶e̶n̶ ̶f̶e̶a̶t̶u̶r̶e̶ fucking bug. I’m on android…10 with a galaxy note 9.
Is there any fix for this. The app has promise, but this is a huge buzz kill for ya know GAMEIFIDE WORKING OUT!! it’s one core feature.
