Apple Watch family setup
Is it possible to use a pedometer on a watch for my daughter using family setup? I’d love for her to see her steps on the watch face but can’t get the pedometer app to work. Help!

Bestjess80,
Thank you for confirming. It sounds like the Apple Watch is tracking the steps since you're seeing it reflected in the Activity App, but the pedometer app isn't tracking the steps. You may want to check the apps settings to make sure everything is correctly enabled there. If you continue to have trouble, reach out to the developers of the app: How to contact an app developer
Take care.
Hi Bestjess80,
From your post, it sounds like you're having trouble getting the pedometer app to work on your daughter's Apple Watch. What exactly happens when you attempt to use the pedometer app? Let us know what error messages you see, if any. If needed, let's go ahead and update the Apple Watch: Update your Apple Watch
Have a great day.
Yes that’s right! I am able to install and open the app but it doesn’t do anything- doesn’t count her steps or mileage. However we do see a step count in the activity app so I know something is working. She has an SE model. The pedometer app works fine on my Apple Watch 6 which is connected to the same iPhone (mine).
