My son often has my phone, classic “you got games on your phone?” Situation. I was wondering if I can set my step counter to only track the steps from my watch, since I’m always wearing it and not my iPhone to get the best possible activity reading. As much as I like breaking previous records, it’s not right. Ideas?

You can also delete the counted steps in this section by taping on the name of your phone and swiping the entries to the left.
