I open the fitness app and noticed that the step or flights climbed numbers are old and crusty.
At some “random” time later they’ll update to the current values.
anyone know how to get the fitness app to refresh its numbers from the phone’s hardware?
another example: my pedometer app says I’ve done 10,000 steps and my fitness app may say 8,000 steps. But, later in the day they’ll both read the same number, e.g. 11,000 steps

Not using an Apple Watch. Just want to know if there’s a way to get the fitness app on the iPhone to refresh its numbers manually.
I’m surprised Apple doesn’t refresh the numbers automatically. Clearly my third party app is looking at the live pedometer counter, and Apple’s fitness app clearly does not.
Yup I see this too. Pretty weak sauce from Apple on this. Would love to know if there’s a setting or even if pull down to refresh could be made to work.
