You can't have been out for long! Or they grossly underestimate.
Why not do a test, count your steps, and see which one us best?

+1; even the 558 steps are at best 250 m.

I see there's an NHS app: have you got that? And there are - or
 were - pedometers - maybe on ebay.

The whole issue depends on the sensor quality of the phone and how/where
the phone is placed during the count.
