Why isn’t my body scan working?

Simple checks for a failed body scan.

Updated over a month ago

If after attempting a body scan you receive the message “Scan Failed,” please check the following:

  • App version: Make sure the AlterMe app is up to date; outdated versions can cause scan failures.

  • Update your profile: Confirm your height, current weight, and goal weight are correct.

  • If using the mirror: Remove the camera cover.

  • Lighting & space: Use a well-lit, clutter-free area; furniture, plants, or pets in frame can cause a failed scan.

  • Clothing: Wear form-fitting apparel to improve outline detection.

  • Hair: Tie hair back so it doesn’t interfere with the scan.
