Hi QueenNay87,



If you want your steps captured from your iPhone when you're not wearing your Apple Watch, then you'll need to follow the steps via the link below in the section titled "Choose your favorite categories to track."


Use the Health app on your iPhone or iPod touch


1) Open the Health app and tap the Summary tab. 
2) Tap Edit next to Favorites.
3) To add or remove a category from your favorites, tap it. Categories with a blue star  appear in your favorites.
4) When you're finished, tap Done. 

Your favorites show how you're doing in each health category that day, like Mindful Minutes or Steps. To see more information about a category, tap it.


We recommend the steps above because they will show you how to use the  Health app to gather health data from your iPhone when you're not wearing your Apple Watch.


Please let us know the outcome after giving the above steps a try.


Cheers!
