Adventure Sync doesn’t always work. I just keep the app open when I walk, and it counts all my steps without trouble.
Make sure Adventure Sync is turned on in your Pokemon GO settings. It tracks your steps even when the app is closed.
Sync your fitness app (like Google Fit or Apple Health) with Pokemon GO. The game uses these apps to count your steps.
Walk with the app open for the most accurate results. Sometimes syncing doesn’t catch all your steps, but walking with the app open should.
