Hi
Once it has been set up, the Activity app tracks your steps automatically in the background, both during general daily wear and during workouts:
Use the Activity app on your Apple Watch - Apple Support
It is not possible to change any of the Activity app goal rings to reflect steps taken or to show steps on the watch face via any other built-in complication. The Activity app also does not include a daily steps goal or allow one to be set.
Your daily steps total can be viewed:
- Via the Activity app on your watch:
Open the app and scroll to the bottom of the screen.
- Via the Activity app on your iPhone:
Select to view a day's results, then scroll to the bottom to see Steps and Distance.
- Via the Health app on your iPhone:
- Go to Health Data > Activity > Steps.
- Adding Steps to Favourites adds it to top section of the Today screen (accessed via the Today tab) and the Favourites section within the Activity category.
- Use the Health app on your iPhone or iPod touch - Apple Support
If you would prefer to keep track of your steps on the watch face, then you can add a complication using a third-party app:
Change the watch face on your Apple Watch - Apple Support
Apps that you may wish to consider include, for example:
Pedometer++
- Integrates with the Health app and offers watch face complications:
- Pedometer++ on the App Store
Watch My Health
HealthDash for Health App
