Android 14 or newer. Health Connect step access is optional for the demonstration; real walking needs an available step source. A supported watch is optional.
iPhone plans are undecided. We are starting with Android.
Before you begin
A few things to know.
Does a phone-only walk count while my watch charges?
With the measured-interval connection set up, Health Connect combines available phone and watch records and resolves overlapping periods using your source priority. The next full local day uses that combined timeline; the first partial day keeps the higher-report fallback. Phone-only walking still needs a working phone step source. Reports may arrive late, and physical accuracy checks are still in progress.
Do preview steps earn real progress?
No. The demonstration is separate from your real journey, Journal places and earned looks.
What happens if I miss a day?
Your existing journey is kept. Later source corrections can revise recent counted progress; missing a day does not impose a penalty.
Is my journey backed up in the cloud?
There is no automatic cloud restore. Backup & restore in Help or Privacy lets you save a portable journey file and review it before restoring. Keep that file outside the app before changing phones or uninstalling. Local recovery copies help with some interrupted writes; postcards are keepsakes, not backups.
Can I walk with friends?
Party Together is being prepared and is disabled in the current preview. The personal journey is available independently.
