Steps and Health App

Are there any apps that will sync steps in the health app? I do not always have my phone on me and I want my steps to be counted. I appreciate any help. I know fitbit will not.

I found a workaround!
Launch Health, open Walking+Running Distance, tap Share Data, and check all apps in here, find them, (backup if you like, ) delete them, and done!

  • Problem with steps in health app!!

    Hello guys, i have problem with my health app, i enable steps in the app but it doesnt count even a single step, it says "No Data". I searched in the Internet the way i can enable steps and did exactly what it says but nothing. Can someone help?

    you can use 3rd party apps to monitor your activity, but this will drain you iPhone Battery significantly more than if using the integrated Motion coprocessor.

  • IOS 8.1.2 and Health App

    I've just installed 8.1.2 and so far no change in the Health App.  Following bugs still present (Interaction with UP24)
    1)  Daily average still WAAAAAAY off
    2)  UP24 and Health still don't agree with steps even though UP24 is listed first as the source and thus should override any data from the iPhone
    3)  Still can view step data (phone just hangs when it tries to display data)

    With 8.1.2 there were no changes relating to Health, wi-fi issues, Bluetooth, etc. The only change was an issue with ringtones disappearing.
    Nice of Apple to issue a one note upgrade.

  • Where is the advertised Microsoft Band and Health app support?

    The Microsoft Band is labeled as "Powered by Microsoft Health" all over the site. The Microsoft Health page has the image above, showing the band, the app, and HealthVault all in the same ecosystem.
    I am a Band and Health user so I just signed up for HealthVault and there is no way I can find to connect Health (and thus Band) with HealthVault. 
    Surely they didn't sell me this product under false pretenses. What am I missing?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hello everyone.
    We know how important it will be to integrate Band
    and HealthVault!  We're working hard to bring that functionality to you.  The best places to keep up with the pulse of HealthVault would be our Facebook and Twitter page/feed(s).
    https://www.facebook.com/msftHealthVault
    https://twitter.com/HealthVault
    These are where we post our latest updates, features, changes, etc...  If there's an updated timeframe, that's where you'll be first to find it. 
    I hope this helps!

  • I downloaded ios8 and want to delete ibooks and health apps.

    How do I delete apps such as ibooks that came with ios8? There is no "x" using the usual method. Thanks.

    Thanks. Apple has gone down many notches in my book for this behavior.
    In order to download ios8 I had to remove some apps and stored music to gain enough space. After downloading the ios8 I find that I have automatically received several apps - FOR WHICH I HAVE NO CHOICE - that take up storage space, thus limiting what I can choose to have on my iphone 5s. This is far too "big brother" for me and will certainly make me consider a different phone when I need to replace this one.
    Shame on Apple.
    I went to that site and filled out the form but couldn't find any submit button guaranteeing that Apple won't receive feedback. Down another several notches.

  • Health App Data Source Order With Apple Watch-

    I discovered a very large difference between the number of steps counted by Health App and my other step tracking app Pacer.  Pacer was indicating I had 10,000 steps while HealthKit was reporting about 6000 steps.
    I then realized this was happening because of the order my data sources were for steps.  The order was:
    Apple Watch
    iPhone
    The problem is, the Apple watch does not track cycling as steps while the iPhone does.  Because of this, when the Apple Watch is first in the data source list for steps it doesn’t count those cycling “steps”.  I find this odd since Health App should be smart enough to merge the results; if the watch is reporting no steps and the iPhone is reporting 4000 steps, it should add the iPhone’s steps to the total.
    But, if I go in and change the priority order to:
    iPhone
    Apple Watch
    then, HealthKit reports the correct 10,000 steps.
    The strange thing is, if I’m not carrying my iPhone and have my watch on, HealthKit does properly merge the watch's steps into Health App even though the Apple Watch is second on the priority list.
    I’m  not sure if this is a bug or a feature, but it’s important to make sure your data sources are in the correct order.  I’ve gone in and made sure my iPhone is in the first position on all my stats.

    Today I did a full restore thanks to this post Health app has crashed, data gone. and some spare time to sit down and do it.
    After re-adding the apps to share their data the Health app appears to be working as it was before for me. Hope this helps.

  • Health app not showing steps and calories

    It's about 5 days that the health app is not showing steps, calories and other data which was showing before. I have added two data source to provide data for health App and both them are provideding data.

    I take it you have already gone into the Health app and set up your Medical ID card, correct?
    The Medical ID card will show up on the Lock Screen password entry screen when Emergency option on the bottom left-hand side of the screen is clicked.
    It does not show up anywhere if you do not have a passcode lock on the screen.
    Cheers,

  • How do i delete or remove the Tips app and the health app that apple added to my phone on the last update 8.0.2?

    How do i remove the Tips app and the Health app that apple added to my iphone on the last update? Update 8.0.2? I didn't want these added to my phone. I have to remove apps every time there is an update. After the phone is updated I reinstall the apps I removed. After 8.0,2 there was not enough room for me to reinstall my apps because they added the Tips app and the health app. How do I remove them? When you hold your figure on the apps they added, X's pop up on all of the apps i've installed, but not on the ones that come on the iPhone and the ones that they added on this last update. Please help.

    They force you to buy health insurance these days and now apple forces you to keep spyware apps on your phone.
    Oh, knock off the fearmongering. None of those apps are spyware. Health stores all of its data on the phone. It will only back it up to your computer if you do an encrypted back up. The only data it collects on its own are steps, stairs and distance traveled. Anything else in it is information you've explicity authorized it to collect from anothr app you've installed. You're not required to put anything in Passbook, Podcasts, iBooks or Newstand.

  • Health app and restarting day

    so i get up pretty early every day, 4am. my health app doesn't seem
    to restart the day. when I open my health app in the morning it gives me all of my data from yesterday.
    how many steps I walked, etc. but doesn't show any of today's data? I noticed this happening yesterday too, but
    i updated the iOS and the day reset and started recording my steps. Is there a certain time the day restarts?
    I would assume it should be 12am, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
    I haven't had this issue before, any tips or suggestions as to why this is happening?

    Keith,
    Thanks for the quick response...  It wasn't clear (since I got here from the Support page) that this wasn't Apple.  Will take your suggestion and see if I can find the appropriate area through the link you provided...

  • Health app double counting steps?

    I have a Withings Pulse activity tracker and it is now synced with my phone and the Withings app to help track my steps throughout the day.  I've noticed that the Health app itself tracks my steps in intervals throughout the day and it seems the Withings app only syncs steps at midnight each night.  I'm wondering if I'm ultimately getting double-credit for steps every day or if Health somehow is able to cancel out its steps once it sees that steps sync in from another app.  I wish there was a way to turn off the internal step counter in iOS8 but I haven't found one yet.  Curious if anyone here has been experiencing this with other fitness bands/activity trackers?
    David

    I am having the same issue as well. I don't have any activity tracker but I keep my phone on me at all times and use it as a tracker. It seems that withings app keeps track of the steps and so does the phone on its own.. If you allow withings app to to sync with health app to me it seems health app uses info from whatever iphone tracks than adds data from withings on top of it.. For examples woke up today and after hour or two withings app said I did about 330 steps. Which would make sense. However in the health app it's showing 670..... why allow other apps to use steps feature if you can't disable iPhone steps tracking, since it will only double up steps?. God forbid I give another app access to step counting. It will seem like I ran a marathon yet I nearly got off the sofa.

  • Health App step count issues

    I noticed on 12/27/2014 that I had a huge spike in total steps recorded by the health app on my 6. It recorded 18,298 steps at 07:35 !
    The screen shots below show that the app created this record. I am not using any other external devices to track data at this time, but how it can possibly record 18 thousand seems as if something major is wrong.
    Has anyone had similar issues ?

    The iPhone measures both steps and distance separately. It measures distance using GPS functionality and steps using the accelerometer. So it doesn't need to know step length to find distance. It DOES know it, however; under Location Services there is a function called "Motion Calibration." That's what its for.

  • Health App: Basic Step Counting?

    Do I need any external hardware to have my steps or runs measured in the health app? I can't seem to set anything up...

    I have iPhone 5s iOS 8.0.2 and the steps are being counted for me. I have no other hardware for step counting.
    Open health app and check health data tab -> fitness -> steps or walking + running distance
    Though, if you are dissatisfied, you might search for something additional in app store.
