Syncing Steps in Fitness and Health

How do I sync steps in the Fitness App with the Health app? I have an Apple Watch but don’t wear it all day. That Health App counts steps with and without the watch. But the Fitness App only counts steps with the watch on. How do I import all steps into Fitness to count all tracked steps?

iPhone 14 Pro Max, iOS 16

iPhone step count sync with fitness on Apple Watch I am trying to find a way to sync the steps my iPhone has accumulated whilst I have not been wearing my Apple Watch (for example whilst it’s charging and I am walking around), and which are reflected in the Apple Health App; and get them to reflect on the Apple Fitness App/Apple Watch Activity. I am a recent transfer from Fitbit to Apple Watch, and it was a feature that Fitbit would combine this data to reflect all my steps on my Fitbit & App; however, it appears to be something I am unable to do whilst using my Apple Watch. I have attached photos to attempt to show what I mean. The Apple Health app is showing I have done 25,131: whilst Apple fitness is only showing 24,801:

iPhone Health App Steps Not Syncing with Watch Fitness Steps? I forgot my Apple Watch this morning and just had my phone for half the day. I was able to get over 5k steps that showed up in the Health app on my phone. I was able to pickup my watch at lunch and thought at least the step count would sync with my Watch in Fitness but they aren't. It seems like this would happen in the past. Anything I'm forgetting or a quick way to force them to sync? Using iPhone 12 Pro Max iOS on 16.0.2 / Apple Watch SE 1st gen on 9.1.
