Hi @Nanalyn

False steps can be given when moving your arms without needing to actual walk (making up the bed, working with tools..), though it's possible to take those steps for granted since having done the certain activities..).

It's possible to change the dominant hand setting in the Fitbit Phone App by tapping the tile which displays the tracker, on the settings page for the tracker, the sensitivity can be decreased / increased by changing the setting.

For example wearing the tracker on non dominant hand, with the setting to dominant to decrease sensitivity.

Hope it helps

Thanks for your reply I did work it out I had it on my dominant hand instead of the other way round and as I had been ironing it had registered each moment as a step x
