Fitness app not counting the steps taken without the watch

I recently purchased apple watch series 8 and found that I have walk without the watch the steps not getting synced on fitness app.

For Example, I had 9,675 walk and 30.9 kcal burned on health app but fitness app shows only 8 kcal burned.

Note, I already activated iCloud health syncs and motion activated from iPhone privacy.

Health App tracks IPhone steps but Fitness App is not synchronized Since I bought an Apple Watch, I noticed that my iPhone no longer tracks steps in the Fitness app when I leave the Apple Watch at home. In the Health app, however, they are accurately tracked by the iPhone, but not synchronized with the Fitness app. I also looked at the privacy settings and enabled everything in Motion & Fitness. What else can I do?

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.

Does the fitness app can update your steps if you let the Apple Watch at home? Hello everyone, Maybe it’s a stupid question but somehow I can’t find the answer. I have an Apple Watch sync to my Iphone and sometimes I go for a walk without the watch. Does the activity ring is supposed to update with the steps recorded on the health app? Because so far, it only works with the watch. Thanks

Is your health data up to date in the health app?

Hight, weight, age etc?
