Hi,

I just upgraded to Premium and I noticed that my step count has increased for the first week changing over to it. The step change isn’t dramatic as I’ve seen reported by other users but has changed. Do steps get calculated differently in Premium? Used to get 80-90k steps for the week and went to 111k. Not a big change.

Premium should not have any effect on step count.

Before posting, re-read to see if it would make sense to someone else not looking at your Fitbit or phone.

Thanks! I am thinking it may actually be due to me enabling the app to allow location access when not using.
