Infinite loops with Apple health

[Maefenn]

Tl;dr—on some days Fitbit decides I walked hundreds of miles. It gives me all the badges! But I am living a lie.

I am using iOS 17.3 and want the steps recorded by my phone & Versa 3 watch to be properly synched together. But generally it seems all steps counted on both devices now get added twice—and sometimes there is a glitch so that my daily step count just keeps going up and up—into the hundreds of thousands. It seems the only solution is to un-sync them—but I’d rather get them to cooperate. 

ppl have posted about this on other platforms but I haven’t seen any solutions.

 By un-sync I mean: don’t let the Fitbit app have access to the phone’s step count. They used to play just fine together in this limited way.
