Is it True that the Health App from iPhone Does Not Count the Steps When We Are Walking While Talking on the Phone?
It's a common misconception that the Health app from iPhone does not count steps when we are walking while talking on the phone. However, this is not the case. The Health app uses a variety of sensors in the iPhone to track movement, including the accelerometer and pedometer. These sensors can accurately track steps even when the user is holding the phone in one hand and talking on it.
Here are a few reasons why someone might think the Health app is not counting steps when walking on the phone:
- The user may not be holding their arm sufficiently for the accelerometer and pedometer to detect movement.
- The Health app may not be calibrated properly or a user may have changed their stride length.
- The battery on the iPhone may be low and affect the accelerometer and pedometer.
If you think your Health app is not counting steps accurately, try the following:
- Make sure the app is updated to the latest version.
- Recalibrate the accelerometer and pedometer by following these steps:
- Go to the Settings app.
- Tap on Privacy & Security.
- Tap on Motion & Fitness.
- Tap on Calibrate Motion & Distance.
- Reset the Health app by following these steps:
- Go to the Health app.
- Tap on the "Sources" tab.
- Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and tap on "Reset Health Data."
