Recently got back in the swing of tracking and noticed that my Apple Health steps were very off—e.g., I'd walk somewhere a mile from my home, but after going there and back it would estimate I walked 1.5 miles instead of 2. This isn't a huge deal in regards to my weight loss goals, since I'm not usually walking enough to create a large deficit, but I do like seeing whether or not I hit my step goals for the day!
After confirming I had everything on that I was supposed to, and reading that iPhones rely on GPS, data and wifi to track your location/steps taken, I realized that occasionally my phone will automatically connect to a poor wifi service while I'm walking around, and I wondered if that would affect the tracking. (I definitely have my phone set to use wifi over data whenever possible, and that's not a setting I want to constantly be toggling back and forth.) I turned off my wifi before I went for my walk today, and sure enough, the numbers I'm seeing make much more sense.
Hope this helps someone else!
