Hey all.
when I wear my Apple Watch the fitness app works great. But I don’t wear my watch at work and the app isn’t tracking my steps at all using the phone itself. Is there a way to fix this pls.

Sorry, but if you wear the watch, it is the main source for counting steps, even if you have your iPhone with you.
In case you are not wearing your watch, the iPhone will add steps to the Health App, but not to the Fitness App.
I just tried that with my watch and iPhone a couple of days ago.
The iPhone counted steps when I did not wear the watch, but as soon as I put on the watch again, the step count in the Health App was reduced to the number of steps the watch had counted.
