## Quick answer

> Turn it on in WHOOP and allow Steps. iPhone: More › App Settings › Integrations › Apple Health. Android: More › Account & Settings › Integrations › Health Connect. Steps often arrive the next day.

**Quick check:**
Look at **yesterday**, not today. **iPhone:** Health › **Search** (**Browse** on iOS 18 and older) › **Activity** › **Steps** › **Data Sources & Access**. **Android:** Health Connect › **Data and access** › **Activity** › **Steps** › **Entries** (**See all entries** in older versions).

**WHOOP has steps for yesterday?** It's sharing; today just hasn't arrived. See [when its steps arrive](#when-steps-arrive). **No WHOOP steps on any day?** [Set it up](#set-up).

## Set it up

WHOOP counts steps on WHOOP 4.0, 5.0 and MG, with any membership. Update the WHOOP app first.

_Android 13 and older:_ Health Connect is its own app there. Install or update it from the Play Store first.

**iPhone:**

1. In **WHOOP**, tap **More**, then **App Settings**.
2. Go to **Integrations**, then **Apple Health**, and tap **Connect**.
3. Allow **Steps**, then tap **Allow**.

**Android:**

1. In **WHOOP**, tap **More**, then **Account & Settings**.
2. Go to **Integrations**, then **Health Connect**, and tap **Set Up**.
3. Allow **Steps**.

**On iPhone:**

  

**On Android:**

  

**On iPhone:**

  To change what WHOOP shares later, open the Health app, tap your profile
  picture, then **Apps** (under Privacy), then **WHOOP**.

Reinstalled WHOOP? Set the connection up again: it doesn't carry over.

## When its steps arrive

WHOOP often doesn't send a day's steps to Apple Health or Health Connect until the next day. So today can run low, or show nothing from WHOOP, while yesterday fills in. That's normal, and there's nothing to fix.

## Should WHOOP or your phone come first?

Your phone counts steps too, and Apple Health and Health Connect keep only the count from whichever source is higher on your list.

- **iPhone:** Health › **Search** › **Activity** › **Steps** › **Data Sources & Access** › **Edit**, then drag **WHOOP** where you want it.
- **Android:** Health Connect › **Manage data** › **Data sources and priority**, choose **Activity**, then tap the three dots (⋮) next to **WHOOP** and **Move up** or **Move down** to where you want it. _Android 13 and older:_ don't see **Manage data**? Tap **Data and access**, then **Activity**, then **App priority**.

Either works. Today moves with your phone until WHOOP's day arrives. Put WHOOP first and, once its day arrives, its count takes over, so yesterday's number can change after the fact. Put your phone first and your phone's count stays wherever both counted.

## Things that trip people up

- **Connected, but no steps.** Sharing is chosen category by category. Check that **Steps** is on in WHOOP's own integration settings, and in the permissions: on iPhone, Health › profile picture › **Apps** › **WHOOP**; on Android, Health Connect › **App permissions** (on Samsung phones, **Your health apps**) › **WHOOP**.
- **WHOOP worn on the bicep.** WHOOP's step counting is tuned for your wrist, so a bicep or body-worn WHOOP can count fewer.
- **It doesn't match your phone.** WHOOP is worn day and night and counts in its own way. A small gap is normal.

## Why it works this way

WHOOP keeps your data in its own app and copies steps to Apple Health or Health Connect, the shared place on your phone. Its steps often land after the day is over, rather than through it. Every app that reads your steps from there, Steps Club included, sees WHOOP's day only once it's sent.

**In Steps Club:**
  **Settings › Step sync › Why is my number different?** names WHOOP when its
  steps are in your count and reminds you that today's WHOOP steps arrive
  tomorrow.
