My phone seems to inaccurately count steps, and I’m worried that could be a problem? It gives me too many steps. I counted how many steps it takes to walk from one room to another, which is around 12 - 16 steps. The app routinely gives me over 25 steps though! I’m hoping this won’t be an issue? I might be over thinking.

    Indeed, this is correct. We use Android API’s to read the data, and Android API’s are dependent on device’s sensors. It’s a bit different depending on the device, but the margin of error is usually quite small when taking a longer walk.
