Red Tomatoes

📢 **Important Update for Fitbit Users 🍅**

Calling all Red Tomatoes currently using **Fitbit** to sync your steps! 👟

**Fitbit is making changes to its services**, which means the Fitbit connection currently used by Red Tomatoes will no longer be available from **tomorrow**.

👉 **This isn’t a change being made by Red Tomatoes**, but if Fitbit is currently your step provider, you’ll need to make a quick switch to keep your steps flowing into the app.

# # # 🔄 What you need to do

There are two parts:

# # # 1️⃣ Get your Fitbit steps syncing with your phone’s health service

Your Fitbit device first needs to sync its data into the health service on your phone:

🍎 **iPhone:** Apple Health
🤖 **Android:** Health Connect

This part happens **outside Red Tomatoes** and is managed by Fitbit/Google or Apple, so unfortunately we can’t configure it for you, but we can point you in the right direction!

🤖 **Android users:** Google has an official guide to setting up Fitbit/Google Health with Health Connect:

⌚ **Having trouble getting your Fitbit itself to sync?**

Google/Fitbit’s syncing guide is here:

https://support.google.com/googlehealth/answer/14237221?hl=en

🍎 **iPhone users:** You’ll need to make sure your Fitbit data is being shared with **Apple Health** before selecting Apple Health in Red Tomatoes.

💡 **Important:** Before changing anything in Red Tomatoes, open **Apple Health or Health Connect** and check that your steps are actually appearing there. If they are, you’re ready for part two!

# # # 2️⃣ Change your provider in Red Tomatoes 🍅

Once your steps are appearing in Apple Health or Health Connect:

**1.** Open **Red Tomatoes**

**2.** Go to your **step provider/settings**

**3.** Change your provider from **Fitbit** to:

🍎 **Apple Health** — iPhone
🤖 **Health Connect / Google** — Android

**4.** If your phone asks for permission, allow Red Tomatoes to access your step/activity data.

**5.** Sync Red Tomatoes and check that your latest steps are showing.

🏆 **That’s it — you’re back in the race!**

⚠️ **Please make the switch as soon as you can.** Once Fitbit makes the change, Red Tomatoes will no longer be able to collect your steps directly from Fitbit.

If you have trouble **inside Red Tomatoes**, drop us a message here on Facebook and we’ll do our best to help. 🍅

If the problem is getting your **Fitbit device to sync with Apple Health or Health Connect**, please use the Fitbit/Google support guidance above, as that part of the connection sits outside Red Tomatoes.

What is a challenger board?

i.e. If the owner creates a goal of 10,000 steps when you get to 10,000 steps before everyone else, congratulations you win.

An owner can set a time scale for the event too, so in the same example if no one makes 10,000 steps in, say, a week then no one wins.
