Pedometer++ complication blank after Watchos 10 update

Here’s what I did that worked: open watch app on your phone, scroll down and select Pedometer app, then toggle the switch off for “Show app in Apple Watch”.

Close app, check Apple Watch to be sure the Pedometer app is not visible in your apps list on the actual watch. Then go back to your phone to toggle this back on. Then select your desired steps complication on your watch. Hope this helps!

Larr13’s method worked for me too. Finally I can see my step count again at a glance! Must have been some glitch in how the Pedometer app works with the updated version of the watch OS. Why do we even need a third party app to have such a basic option on the Apple Watch face, anyway? Seems like this should be easily implemented.

Tried all of this. Downloading and redownloading, switch faces etc. still experiencing a blank spot where steps should be. After last update. Even tried downloading a couple other apps for steps. Same problem.

I have the same problem. Followed the recommended steps to delete pedometer app, reinstall, restart watch, add complication, and the same problem persists. On the watch face the area where the steps should be is blank.

I have tried everything here multiple times. I still cannot get my steps to update live with Pedometer ++ or StepsApp. Any other ideas? So frustrating, just switched from Android and it’s all built into the Galaxy Watch.

I upgraded my iphone and started having this issue. I tried all, but only when I opened the pedometer app on my iphone I found out that I had to re-enable the Fitness & motion in the app settings of my apple device. That instantly fixed it.

Hey gooba31,

First, we'd suggest reviewing this article about adding and removing complications to see if removing and re-adding that helps resolve the issue: Customize the watch face - Apple Support

If that doesn't help, we'd recommend restarting your Apple Watch to see if that resolves the issue: Restart Apple Watch - Apple Support

Thanks!

Hi gooba31,

To isolate this issue further, switch to a different watch face to see if your step count shows up as expected. If needed, the steps on how to do that are in the article linked above.

Touch and hold the watch face, swipe to the one you want, then tap it.

If the issue continues, make sure your Apple Watch and paired iPhone are running the latest compatible software versions. Here's a list of the latest versions: Apple security releases

If there's an update available for your iPhone, be sure to create a backup before installing it: Update your iPhone or iPad

1. Back up your device using iCloud or your computer.

2. Plug your device into power and connect to the internet with Wi-Fi.

3. Go to Settings > General, then tap Software Update.

4. If you see more than one software update option available, choose the one that you want to install.

5. Tap Install Now. If you see Download and Install instead, tap it to download the update, enter your passcode, then tap Install Now. If you don't know your passcode, learn what to do.

If you need more help, reply with the name of the complication that you've noticed this behavior with. Is it the Activity complication, or a different one? There's a list of the names of the complications in the article linked above.

Regards.

Tried all the above but to no avail. However for me an update to WatchOS 10.2 and Pedometer++ app version 5.3 fixed this.

I deleted the app from showing on my watch, reinstalled it, added it back to the watch, and it finally showed up on my watch face. However, it does not do live tracking of your steps. You have to click through to get it to update to have accurate step count. Any ideas?

Hello gooba31,

Thank you for keeping us updated. If this issue is only occurring while trying to use this specific third-party app, we recommend that you try deleting and then reinstalling that affected app to help further isolate this issue.

If that doesn't help refresh things, you might want to reach out to the app developers for help. They might need to investigate this issue further with you. Just in case, this resource can show you how to do this: How to contact an app developer - Apple Support

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. Take care.

1. Remove the compilation
2. Reinstall the pedometer++ app on phone.
3. Restart Apple watch
4. Add compilations

This worked for me. Hope it helps

Similar problem. I followed the recommended steps to delete pedometer app, reinstall, restart watch, add complication, and the same problem persists.

For me, on the watch face the step field only updates when I open the Pedometer app on my watch. When I revert back to the watch face, the steps display but they don't update as I walk.

@lorlor76. This totally worked for me. Thank you. It took also for me to open the actual app on my phone and witch it from mirror to iPhone only for me to get it show back up but it’s there. Thank you!
