It's very strange, the auto detector seems to be considering as steps in what ever way I am on move, even though am on bike its taking them as steps. Anyone anything regarding this?

Hi there, @Miscalculating. Welcome to the Community Forums. I'm sorry to hear that your Inspire 3 is tracking too many steps even while biking, I understand how important is to get accurate details.

I'd like to mention that wrist trackers count steps depending on the movement of your arms. Fitbit has worked hard to make sure that our devices do not pick up false steps or activity recordings while driving. Unless you're driving in a car with a very stiff transmission or on bumpy roads, your device should not give you false readings. Also, if you place it in a surface with something vibrating or if you make hard hand movements. You can learn more about how your Fitbit tracks steps by checking the article: How accurate are Fitbit devices?

I'd also recommend taking a look at this part of the article: Why does my Fitbit device count steps when I'm riding a bike?

Hope this helps.
