View your step count in Samsung Health

Last Update date : 2023-11-01

Samsung Health allows you to monitor your daily steps. When using multiple connected devices like a phone and a watch, it can be challenging to track steps individually. Adjust Samsung Health settings to view all steps collectively, regardless of activity. You can also check step counts for each device. Ensure you've set up the necessary widgets on your devices.

Whether your phone is in your pocket, purse, backpack, or hand, it will accurately track your steps. This data seamlessly syncs with connected devices like your Samsung smartwatch. Additionally, consider adding a step widget to your phone's Home screen for quick access to your step count.

  • Set target: Tap Target to set up a daily step goal.

  • Select step data to show: Tap this to see the total steps recorded on your phone or a connected device. Please see the "View step counts from your different devices" section for more details.

4 To add the Step widget to your phone’s Home screen, touch and hold an empty spot on your desired Home screen, and then tap Widgets.
5 Swipe to and tap Samsung Health. Tap the Steps widget, and then tap Add; the widget will appear on your Home screen.
