Samsung Health distances all wrong

[sorethumbs]

On my old Samsung S8 health app worked fine and accurately but on my A70 its displaying distances all wrong.

I've walked home today a distance of 1.4 miles and the health app is showing my steps as 2600ish which should roughly work out correctly based on about 1000 steps per half mile yet distance recorded is only 0.63 miles - less than half what it should be.

I've uninstalled and installed latest version, cleared my data and set it up from scratch again, location services are on and its still recording distance covered way too low.  If I set the 'Exercise' recording on where it tracks you on a map and finish my route it shows the correct distance covered but the steps menu still only shows 0.63.

No idea whats going on with it, does it think i'm 3ft tall and take tiny steps?

I walked over 20.000 steps yesterday and the day before and on Samsung health app, shows a mile here and a mile there. Why doesnt it show full distance. I used Run keeper instead. Which displayed over 2 miles.

This is old topic but I tested the accuracy on a USATF certified 1/2 marathon course, 7x over 15 days and every time the distance was within 1/10 of a mile either way , so for me it's pretty accurate

I used Google fit for 12 months and whole it is generally accurate it can be off at times
