Hand washing duplicates

Since updating to watchOS 8 and iOS 15 when I wash me hands I get two entries in the Health app with the same time.


Tried unpairing and pairing watch again to iPhone, but still the same.


Anybody else having this problem?

Hello J_LittleRed,


Thanks for using Apple Support Communities! We understand you're seeing two instances of handwashing instead of one. We'd like to help.


On your Apple Watch, go to Settings > Handwashing. Turn this option off.

Wait a few moments and then restart both devices. Turn Handwashing on again on your Apple Watch. Test to see if this helps with the data on the Health app.


If you continue to experience the same thing, reach out to Apple directly: Contact - Official Apple Support


Take care.
