Sometimes the step counts of my family members are not updated
Any changes in your family’s step count will be shared automatically. However, if this app has not been used for some time, the automatic update of the step count may stop to prevent the smartphone battery from draining.
In these cases, you can send your family a “How are you?” message will trigger the family member to open this app and update their step count. This can also be used as a safety check. (See [here] for sending messages.)
- If your family member’s smartphone is Android, please check [Steps count may not be updated properly].
