Count steps with your phone
Enable step counting and read honest numbers from the sensor.
Goal
Enable step counting and see today's steps.
Before you start
- Your phone has a step sensor.
- You are ready to grant the physical-activity permission.
Steps
- Open Steps
From home search or the tools list.
- Enable counting
Grant the physical-activity permission when Android asks.
- Walk with the phone
Carry it as you normally do.
- Read the count
Today's steps show in the tool; past days stay in history.
What you should see
Steps appear after you walk with the phone. On devices without a sensor, the tool shows unavailable instead of a number.
If something goes wrong
- No steps are counted
Check the physical-activity permission in system settings. If the device has no step sensor, Zavub shows unavailable instead of inventing a number.
- The count looks reset
Daily counts restart each day; past days stay in history.
