iPhone 6 barometer not working

Having the same issue. I've probably gone up 10 flights of stairs today already and it still shows me at 0.

Me too (in the UK, 6 Plus, 64 GB).

Does it actually work for anyone? Is it currently inactive/disabled as part of the Health Kit push back?

So now mine is showing 1 floor for the 10 times I have gone up and down the stairs here... so it may work, but it does not seem to be in any way accurate.

Mine was working fine up until today !

Looks like we posted threads on the same topic on the same day 🙂 Including mine below as well, I saw this issue with my 6+ and now we're up to 3 pages of people with similar issues. I have a bug out there for this and hope this is something as simple as SW calibrations.

iPhone 6 not counting flights of stairs

First, as a disclaimer, this is a paid app I built. It just prints out the Barometer data from the sensor for the device, which you can use to see if the sensor is working.

If you want to, email ******* and I'll email you a promo code so you can get it for free to test your sensor.

I've just emailed you, thank you

Josh, thanks for this confirmed that the barometer vs measured (tape measure) was actually pretty close, now wondering why the app is not registering correctly and hope this is just an algorithm issue within iOS or Health App that can be resolved quickly.

I Just emailed you, thanks. I've been having the same problem with it recordng flight of stairs.

Also no longer counting flights as of today, but the iPhone still shows up as a source. Just not incrementing the counter in Health.

If you're interested in the direct pressure measurements of the barometer, you can take a look at an app we made, Barometer++:

http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/barometer++/id922220265

It will tell you the pressure the barometer is measuring (in various units), as well as the relative elevation increased or decreased from a set point that you have the option to reset. I.e., you can check if your iPhone says you are going up ~a few meters as you climb a set of stairs, to find out if there's a bug with HealthKit or the barometer itself. (I suspect it's HealthKit)

EDIT: I didn't scroll through all the responses, and missed that my colleague Josh already responded to this thread. Sorry for the redundant answer! Hope you all enjoy the app!

Installed this app this morning. Works as advertised and a great way to see the current barometric pressure and the real-time delta as you change elevation.

Very useful!

After going into the Compass app and re-calibrating as it requested, I have climbed 10 flights of steps since last night and it's back to tracking them correctly.

Give this a try if you haven't already.

Hey Frank,

I tried calibrating with Compass and it still shows one flight of stairs for the whole day. I live in a townhouse so I know that's not right. I go up and down those stairs at least 15 times a day. I downloaded the barometer app and it does show pressure change when I go up and down the stairs so it means it is most likely a bug with Health Kit. I've had other issues with health kit like double entries and such. It seems quite buggy right now

I had the same problem, no data collected the whole day. Switching the iPhone off and on again worked for me, but it's seems the not very accurate. When I go up 2 levels, it will count as one, which means if I go up only one level inside of my home, it will count nothing...

So just test it out, by going down in your cellar...let me know if that works for you guys.

Sincerely from Germany.
