Health app

I think its better to give on/off options for steps counting (pedometer), coz for movements in public transportation also its counting steps...so that we can change the option for accurate results for step count...

I'm a fairly active person and some days my steps as counted by my iPhone's Health App can total twenty-five or thirty thousand. On these especially big days the app has the annoying habit of randomly reducing the number of steps counted. It's not uncommon that I walk close to 10 miles in a day. On the especially big days, the iPhone Health app will often reduce the step count sometime in the evening. As an example, you'll open the app and see a steps total of 24,700, which seems about right... but in just a second or so, that number disappears and the new number might be 16,300. Why does it do this, and can it be stopped?

Double Counting Of Steps and so the following calories equals I started using fitness band for tracking my workout, steps, etc mi band 5 which has its own app ‘Zepp life’ which send data to Apple health app so the problem is when I wear this band and carry phone in hand or pocket, both iPhone and band track my movements and shows more than how much I walked in health app, feels like health app adds iPhone’s + band’s steps, so should I turn off health to track movements?, or Apple will fix it soon

Apple doesn’t routinely monitor the discussions. These are mostly user to user discussions.

If you want to, you can send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem or a suggestion for change. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem/suggested change solved sooner.
