  • 10. Why after setting up Garmin as steps provider, steps won't appear in app?

    When you set up Garmin as the steps provider for the #walk15 app, the synchronization of steps occurs in a specific sequence. Here’s how it works:

    1. Garmin Watch records steps: Your Garmin watch tracks your steps throughout the day as you move and walk.
    2. Garmin Connect syncs steps: The next step is to sync the steps recorded by your Garmin watch to the Garmin Connect app or website. This synchronization process transfers the step data from your watch to the Garmin Connect platform. This happens when openning Garmin Connect- sync indicator on top of app screen.
    3. #walk15 app accesses steps from Garmin Connect: Once the steps are successfully synced to Garmin Connect, the #walk15 app can then retrieve the step data from Garmin Connect.
    4. Steps appear in the #walk15 app: After the #walk15 app receives the step data from Garmin Connect, the steps will be displayed within the app.

    By understanding this sequence, you can ensure that your steps are accurately recorded, synced, and made available in the #walk15 app by following the necessary steps within the Garmin ecosystem.
