How to track steps count on your Apple Watch face

If you’re searching for ways to track your step count on your Apple Watch, this article is perfect, as Apple’s built-in Activity app tracks your daily steps, but it doesn’t offer a way to display this information as a step count directly on your Apple Watch face.

Apple's Activity app accurately tracks your steps and floors climbed, and you can check them any time by scrolling through the app and viewing your daily activity.

However, there's a restriction that you can't display your actual step count on the watch face using the complications provided by Apple. This is why you require third-party solutions.

Which third-party app is required?

• A third-party step-counting app, such as Pedometer++ or StepsApp.
• An Apple Watch running the latest watchOS.
