Step 1: Enable the Health App
The first step is to make sure that the Health app is enabled on your iPhone. If it’s not already on your home screen, you can find it by searching for “Health” in the App Store. Once you’ve found the app, simply download and install it.
Step 2: Set Up the Health App
Once you have the Health app installed, you’ll need to set it up to track your steps. To do this, open the app and tap on the “Health Data” tab at the bottom of the screen. From there, select “Fitness” and then “Steps.” Make sure that the “Show on Dashboard” option is enabled, and then tap “Done.”
Step 3: Start Walking
Now that your iPhone is set up to track your steps, all you need to do is start walking! Your iPhone will automatically track your steps as you move throughout the day. To view your step count, simply open the Health app and tap on the “Dashboard” tab. You’ll see your step count displayed prominently at the top of the screen.
Step 4: Set Goals
If you want to take your activity tracking to the next level, you can also set goals for yourself in the Health app. To do this, tap on the “Health Data” tab and select “Fitness.” From there, tap on “Steps” and then “Share Data.” You can then set daily or weekly step goals for yourself and track your progress towards those goals in the “Dashboard” tab.
