Steps are counted using the accelerometer built in to the phone. It doesn't require any external connection.

my health app only counts some of my flights Using iphone Xs 12.2, my health app only counts some of my flights -- e.g., right now it shows the steps updated at 2:18 pm but the flights updated at 8:57 am -- I did much hill walking after 857 am but it is not recorded (this has happened before, it never added in the later data). This did work before on the phone (I noticed it not working the first time about 2 weeks ago). thanks [Re-Titled by Moderator]
