Samsung watch and Apple phone Hi ive read all about pairing the watch to the phone via app, wearable and health. Sync is on in the settings and the steps from the watch are appearing on Samsung health but it’s still not recording all steps in my iPhone health which in turn automatically updates MyFitnessPal. I’m then adding them manually in steps on the iPhone health but MyFitnessPal only seems to records the steps made via the phone only and not manual data. help

I noticed the discrepancy starting friday. Each day (Fri,Sat,Sun) showed >10,000 steps on the watch by the end of day. But the health app shows significantly lower numbers, even allowing overnight to account for time delays in syncing....

I did move the watch to the top of the data surce list and did also update and reboot the watch OS last night 09/27 (phone is also on iOS 14, updated (09/21)).
