iPhone in my bag, are my walking steps counted?

If my iPhone 7 Plus is inside my knapsack, when I am walking with the knapsack on my back, are my steps counted by the Health App? Thank you.

In order for the iPhone to track these steps, you will need to either be

  • holding the device
  • wearing the device


Your step counter will go up after your iPhone has detected the motion


Use the Health app on your iPhone or iPod touch
