Steps in health app doesn't corresont to steps on my apple watch

The Health app shows a lot of smaller steps than my apple watch. Over several 1000 steps

less and there are always lesser steps in the health app, never the other way

around. I have allowed the Health app to read data from apple watch and

it is prioritized in the device list.

I have also tried to deactivate the checkmark besides the iphone but I can't deactive any of these devises by pressing the checkmarks.

I have read a lot of Q&A here in the forum but I can´t see any thing that I

haven’t already tried, do you have any more thoughts or ideas on how to solve this?

You can de-activate the iPhone from adding to your health app (steps, distance, flights)

from the iPhone>Settings>Privacy>Motion & Fitness>Fitness Tracking>Toggle this off


As to the steps.

Does the Fitness app on your phone match your watch?

if not, I would unpair your watch from your phone, then pair it back setting it up as new.

I would also reset your Fitness Calibration Data

from your iPhone>Watch>Privacy>Reset Fitness Calibration Data

You cant deactivate those data sources you can only change their position in the list by tapping edit in the top right corner.

But you already have them set correctly so that's not the problem.

Does your phone and watch have the latest software updates installed as these were supposed to fix this problem?.
