You can track steps automatically by linking the app to Apple Health (on iPhone or iPad) or Health Connect (on Android). Steps recorded by your phone, smartwatch, fitness band, or a third-party app will sync automatically, as long as the device or app sends data to Apple Health or Health Connect.
On Android, steps tracked by Fitbit can also be synced through the Health Connect hub.
To log steps manually, tap the footprints icon on the Dashboard and enter your step count.
Note: Automatic step syncing and manual logging cannot be used at the same time. If syncing is enabled, data from Apple Health or Health Connect will override manual entries.
