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

  1. Open Steps

    From home search or the tools list.

  2. Enable counting

    Grant the physical-activity permission when Android asks.

  3. Walk with the phone

    Carry it as you normally do.

  4. 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.
