Why are step and distance metrics empty for WHOOP?

WHOOP devices have no step counter, so step and walking-distance metrics are never produced and those fields are always empty for WHOOP-connected users.

WHOOP devices have no step counter, so step and walking-distance metrics are never produced and those fields are always empty for WHOOP-connected users. This is a WHOOP-side limitation, not a permissions setting or data-handling issue, and there is nothing to enable.

Other WHOOP behaviours:

• WHOOP exposes only aggregate sleep-stage totals (light, deep, REM, awake), not per-interval hypnogram_samples, so that array is always empty.

• WHOOP does report distance for individual GPS-tracked workouts (e.g. outdoor runs and rides) in the activity payload's distance field.

For steps and daily distance, add a provider with a step counter or phone tracking, such as Apple Health, Health Connect/Google Fit, Fitbit, or Garmin. See the WHOOP docs for more.
