Thanks for getting back to me. I have tried settings in each app nothing allows me to retrieve data from one to another. The step count in the health app is always 1500-2000 less than the fitness app?
thanks again
I did finally called the Apple Technical team. What they told me is that the Apple Health app takes a long time to catch up in the total steps. I was checking the app while I was walking and there was a 1000 -2000 step difference between the Apple Fitness App and the Apple Health. I checked the Apps much later in the day and the Health App came close to the Fitness App by 500 to 600 steps. That was much better than 1000-2000 step difference. In the coming days I'll check the apps more in the evening.
Thanks for all of your help.
