Most mobile phones are able to track your steps automatically, but there are some minimum requirements for this feature to work with the Omada app.
Please note that if you have multiple Android devices connected to your account, automatic step tracking may not remain checked on your main device and lead to inaccurate steps data.
Requirements:
- Samsung phones are capable of tracking a user's steps through the S Health app with OS Android 5.0 Kit Kat or higher.
- Non-Samsung phones are capable of tracking a user's steps through the Google Fit app. Google Fit can be downloaded for free from the Play Store.
How to turn on automatic step tracking using S Health or Google Fit
