Since Steps uses a new algorithm on WHOOP 5.0/MG, is it more accurate?

I’m curious to hear more about the updated step counter.

Hey Matthew, great question. Yes, with improvements to our hardware and step counting algorithm, WHOOP can now more accurately estimate your step count on 5.0 and MG devices.

Hi Harrison,

Is it still using the accelerometer or is it now a pedometer in the 5.0? Thanks :slight_smile:

Thanks reesebarbs. We do use accelerometer readings to inform our step count estimates.
