Counting steps
With the series 9 watch is it possible to track your daily steps? If so, how? Or does it only track when you open Workout and then take a walk?
Apple Watch Series 9, watchOS 10
The Apple Watch Fitness App will count every step you take, and you can check that in the summary of the Fitness App for each day. You don't need to start a workout to add steps.
