How to Check Your Steps on Samsung Health

Samsung Health uses a connected device, like your mobile phone or Galaxy watch, to measure and update the number of steps you take. The total number of steps is displayed on your watch and phone right up to the minute, so you have an accurate count at all times.

The step count is an estimate mostly based on results sent from your location. At times activities other than walking, such as vibrations from a vehicle, riding a bicycle, or hand movements can also increase the number of steps.

Leaving your phone in your wallet, bag, or pocket may hamper your progress, as your phone cannot accurately measure steps when you are not carrying it. For a more precise step count your phone should always be with you to sense any form of activity.

If you do not see a step count at first, try walking more. You may need some additional movement for your steps to begin registering with the step counter. Do not keep looking at the screen when using the Galaxy Watch. Enjoy yourself, stroll for a while, and try to check the number of steps after spending some time outdoors.
