The sooner you get away from tracking steps with an iPhone, the better off you'll be. Get a dedicated pedometer you clip on your belt. iPhone step tracking is an frequent source of inaccurate frustration. Its not accurate or dependable.

I mean it seemed to work fine with my watch but I can no longer wear it at work. So today I noticed it recording on one and not the other.

@Scruff1026 - now i see it is correct. I actually gave away my Watch 5 to a niece and bought a Fitbit tracker, which is excellent. 😊
