Flights climbed health app

I’ve been climbing about 900-1000 feet elevation but app only shows a few (10 or less) flights. Frustrating.

Thanks for responding. No I do not have an Apple Watch, just my iPhone. The compass feature accurately displays my altitude so I know that my hikes have taken me to elevations that are not reflected in the health app's flights climbed feature. Thanks again for responding.

Hello Shmegege,

Thank you for that information. Which iOS version are you currently running? Go to Settings > General > About for the version. Go to Settings > Privacy > Motion & Fitness, and be sure Fitness Tracking and Health are enabled.

Cheers!

Thanks, actuclly that is what I figured was happening. These are indaeced hikes. Sometimes passages are counted, I think if they are very steep, otherwise not. It was just weird to know I had climbed 1000 feet only to show 9 floors! Thanks again.

Are you climbing stairs? Or are you hiking? The algorithm can (generally) tell the difference. Elevation gains during hikes aren't (shouldn't - occasionally they do) get counted as flights of stairs.
