Does Pokemon GO Track Steps on a Treadmill?
Last updated
Ever wondered if you can hatch your eggs and earn buddy candy while walking on a treadmill with Pokemon GO? Let’s find out if your indoor steps count in the game.
So, does Pokemon GO track steps on a treadmill? It’s a question many players have when they prefer or need to stay indoors but still want to progress in the game.
Yes, Pokemon GO Can Track Treadmill Steps
Pokemon GO uses your phone’s GPS and accelerometer to track your movements. This means it can indeed count your steps when you’re walking on a treadmill. To make sure it works, keep your phone with you while you walk or jog. The game’s Adventure Sync feature is especially good at tracking your indoor steps.
Adventure Sync uses the health data from your smartphone to keep track of how much you’ve walked, even if Pokemon GO isn’t actively running. Make sure to enable this feature in the settings, and your treadmill steps can help you hatch eggs and earn more candies for your buddy Pokemon!
