Hello everyone,
Maybe it’s a stupid question but somehow I can’t find the answer.
I have an Apple Watch sync to my Iphone and sometimes I go for a walk without the watch. Does the activity ring is supposed to update with the steps recorded on the health app?
Because so far, it only works with the watch.
Thanks

Thanks,
I walk from time to time with my phone and the watch stays at home. The phone record the steps but the red ring (move) doesn’t update. It update only when I wear the watch. So doesn’t matter how much I walk with the phone, the red ring doesn’t increase.
Is it how it’s suppose to work?

You say you leave the Watch behind, but is your iphone with you?
iphone will count steps and red ring calories but maybe not so accurately.
Does the fitness app can update your steps if you let the Apple Watch at home?
