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.
