# Monster Walk steps not syncing? Start here

Source: https://www.talofagames.com/guides/monster-walk-step-tracking · By Talofa Games · Updated 2026-10-16

**Short answer:** Monster Walk reads steps from Apple HealthKit on iPhone and Health Connect with Google Fit on Android. If steps are missing, first check whether the health service has recorded them, then check that Monster Walk can read Steps. The official FAQ also asks iPhone players to allow Motion permissions and provides Android setup screenshots.

## iPhone: check Apple Health and Motion permissions

1. Check whether Apple Health has recorded steps for the day you are checking.
2. In your phone's settings, confirm Monster Walk: Step Adventure is allowed to read Steps from Apple Health.
3. Confirm Motion permissions are allowed, as described in the [official step tracking FAQ](https://www.talofagames.com/faqg2#s8).
4. Return to the game. If steps are still missing, contact in-game Support with the details below.

Settings names can vary by operating system version. Follow the permission descriptions rather than assuming every screen will look identical.

## Android: check Health Connect and Google Fit

The current [Monster Walk support instructions](https://www.talofagames.com/faqg2#s8) use Health Connect and Google Fit. Follow the screenshots there to connect them and give Monster Walk permission to read steps. The FAQ notes that some screenshots are older.

1. Check whether your recording app has steps for the day.
2. Check the Google Fit and Health Connect connection described in the FAQ.
3. Check that Monster Walk has step read access in Health Connect, then return to the game.

The FAQ also links to [Google's Health Connect instructions](https://support.google.com/fit/answer/12830119?hl=en-GB) for background step issues.

## Work out where the count stops

| What you see | What to check next |
| --- | --- |
| No steps in the health service | Check the device or app recording the walk |
| Steps recorded in Google Fit but missing from Health Connect | Review the connection and sharing permissions in the official FAQ |
| Steps in the health service but missing from Monster Walk | Check the game’s read permissions, then contact Support if needed |

These checks help describe the issue; they do not establish its cause or promise a particular sync time.
