Possible to make my Fitbit inspire 3 less "sensitive"to steps?

I don't like how with just arm movements it's adding steps like I'm walking. There's no way I did 8k steps yesterday. Lol. Maybe more like 5k. I was doing a lot of filling with a stack of papers and I feel like I'm cheating which kinda messes up my stats when I look at it. Thoughts?

Hello @aanstum and welcome to the Community.  You're right about wrist worn devices.  Not all arm movements are steps.  Most of us wear our Fitbits on their non-dominant wrist.  If this applies to you, you can change the sensitivity of the accelerometer by changing the setting to dominant.  Tap on your device/battery icon > Inspire 3 >  change the wrist setting to Dominant.  This will reduce, but not eliminate these false steps.  As an example my hair stylist completely gave up on a wrist worn tracker.  It's just the nature of the job to move arms standing in place.

Just so you know, there are also times when your Inspire 3 can miss steps, like when pushing a cart.
