My iPhone 14 has suddenly started recording a lot of stairs when I’m walking on flat ground and not climbing stairs. It’s affecting my active energy as well. I’ve looked in the health app and the data source is my phone not my watch. I’ve done a hard reset of my phone and still happening. I’m on iOS 18.7.1. Can anyone suggest a fix?

iPhone uses its barometer and accelerometer sensors to look for motion in arms and legs while experiencing a change in barometric pressure. A flight is considered to be about 10 ft.
Use the above information and compare to your recent physical activity to determine what activity was mistakenly identified as climbing stairs.
Hi Jeff, the challenge is that it’s doing it all the time and I don’t want to have to go into the health app and remove the stairs I haven’t done all the time. I’m trying to build to a cardio VO2 max cardio goal and it’s interfering with active energy. It’s only started doing this in the past 48 hours. Prior to this no problems with it
