Health app and fitness app steps are not syncing

Hi!

The steps from the health app and the apple watch fitness app are not syncing. When I walk with my apple watch the steps are showing in the health app, but when I walk without it (only iPhone), then the steps are only shown in the health app. The fitness app information is shown in the health app, but not the other way around. how do I fix this?

Fitness app and Health app not syncing with the same steps.. Since the new update my steps are not syncing with the fitness app and health app. The steps always matched up. Now the health app is way less because I don't carry my phone I only wear my watch. Prior to the last update the steps always synced up on both the activity and health app to the highest step count. Help... my work requires I walk and it automatically updates through an app but it is pulling on the low number.

Health and Fitness apps steps sync I have a question about how health and fitness apps work. My steps isn't always the same on the watch fitness app and iphone health app. I also checked that devices set priority is apple watch so everything should be right? Maybe it doesn't sync after when the watch is turned off and later toggled on again ?Or when I leave my watch and use the phone instead? Sometimes it's accurate but just usally when I wear the watch for the whole day. Thank you for your answers <3

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.

That's how it works,anything recorded with just the phone goes straight to the health app,that's why the watch has the fitness app.
