Why is S Health tracking my steps?

I can't seem to find a way to turn it off.

That was the old app. The app has been updated. On the new app, go to "more" then "manage items" and turn off "steps."

Could not turn off steps from the app. Wouldn't allow it, so I disabled the app altogether.

Which Android version do you have? I'm on Verizon with 5.0.1, and can toggle the Steps off/on. Wonder if there is something different among carrier OS versions.

I also am on Verizon with same version. I got a pop up that said you can't disable this, or something to that affect.

Also, I have S Health ver. 4.1.1.0037 if that helps.

Not sure what's going on there. I have the same version. You could try to uninstall updates to S Health via Application Manager, which I think may clear data in the app (so back it up or sync to your account beforehand). After uninstalling, reboot the phone, and then try to reinstall the update.

Thanks Trees, I'll give this a try.

I have the same issue . Won't let me toggle the steps to off. It's so lame . I'm on sprint.
