I went out on a jog this morning using fit bit versa and simultaneously tracking on the Nike app. Fit bit recorded a longer distance. In the end, fit bit recorded .11 miles more than the Nike app. Both apps use my GPS from my phone. Why is this?

I am experiencing the opposite (and it seems that this is a known issue based on other posts and some chatting w/ CS today).  My walks seemed short relative to google maps so tonight I used strava on my phone and versa for 3 walks
