FAQ: Which step tracker should I use?

Choose between the phone pedometer and health integrations.

Updated 5/27/2026

Lawa can read steps through the best source available on your device. The right choice depends on your phone and wearable setup.

What you can do

  • Use the phone pedometer when you carry your phone while walking.
  • Use Apple Health or Health Connect when you want Lawa to read steps collected by your phone or connected devices.
  • Use Garmin or another supported integration only after it shows as connected in Lawa.
  • Keep one primary source active to avoid confusion when comparing totals.

Tip

If two apps show different totals, check which source Lawa is currently using in settings.
