Resolved Steps not counted when not wearing Apple Watch?

[edhchoe]

When I spend a day without my Apple Watch, the iPhone does not record how many steps I walked.
Is there a setting that I need to change to get the number of steps?
Or do I need a 3rd party app?

TIA

Check "Data Sources" for Steps in the Health app, and see if iPhone is listed as a data source. If it's not, I think there's a way to add it, but I can't remember how I did it, sorry.

I had to move my iPhone 14 Pro up to the top of the priority list....

How to prioritize Apple Health sources on iPhone​

1. Open the Health app on iPhone
2. Choose the Health Data tab at the bottom
3. Now choose a category like Activity, then a type of data like Steps
4. Tap Data Sources & Access, then choose Edit in the top right corner
5. Use the three-line icon to prioritize a different source (top = priority)
6. Tap Done in the top right corner
