Step counts in Apple Health are way too high. When I look into „all data“, it seems Apple Health logs steps alongside the steps synchronized from Whoop and adds it all up.
Any suggestions welcome

Just a thought. Go into Health, Search for steps, Scroll down and make you do not have two things logging steps. I collect my steps from Garmin but if I had Whoop active as well I would assume both would add up. Also Whoop could be writing to MyFitnessPal and that also writes to Apple Health. I had a similar issue with cycling distance. Garmin and Strava were both writing to Apple Health.
Thanks Alan,
I definitely have iphone and Whoop logging steps simultaneously, I can see it under „all data“. I think I can disable steps syncing from Whoop, but might prefer to have the Whoop steps in Apple Health, cause they seem more accurate for me.
Curious what Whoop would suggest here.

To be honest I see my phone has data too but the step count seems to match Garmin and doesn’t take consideration of the phone steps. I am a cyclist so only steps I have are walking around the house, grocery store etc. I don’t get much more than 3k a day if I am lucky. So maybe I am not seeing the issue like you,
I’ve noticed this as well. It seems to be caused by Whoop adding a single record to Apple Health towards the end of the day containing the total count, with the start time set just after the last sync and the end time the time of the current sync. When Apple displays its steps total and chart, it distributes the total from the Whoop record between each hour of the spanned start and end period, filtering out some duplicates based on the order of the devices set in the data sources and access screen. If Whoop added the steps more frequently in smaller batches the total and chart in Apple Health would be more accurate.
