Me standing and using my hands to pick things up or doing things with hands is detected as steps count.

Hi @Paul.bhogad  that's not a bug, it's how your Fitbit tracks steps. These are wrist based devices and rely on your hands moving to count the steps. If you were pushing a stroller, shopping cart or holding something closely, it wouldn't recognize as many steps. If you're a drummer or using ASL, the steps will go sky high. It's normal to get some steps by moving your hands.

Stepping in the U.S.A. since September 2013. Android 14
