Does Samsung Track Steps. The Samsung Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 Plus will now track your steps and notify you when you hit your goal. The GWA2 is accurate generally but it does not reliably count steps if youre pushing a shopping cart or the like.
If i hold the phone in my hand and shake my hand up and down it registers steps even if im sitting in my chair. When I just go for a walk the S10 phone does track steps and distance and time but doesnt track it on the map. My Galaxy S5 does this as well.
Ive worked with and written several motion sensitive apps.
Step tracking sleep monitoring and even. Picking my phone up and down off the desk registers as steps. I dont know why since it automatically starts tracking steps that it doesnt track it on the map. But if you set up your phone to count steps Samsung Health will pick up the steps from your phone even if its in your pocket and combine them with steps from the watch.
