How Trailbound works
Trailbound reads compatible steps from Apple HealthKit on iOS or Health Connect on Android. A recorded GPS route is not required for story progress.
- Check whether Apple Health or Health Connect shows recent steps and distance first.
- Allow Trailbound to read steps and distance in your system permissions.
- Sync your wearable with its companion app, then reopen Trailbound. Devices do not all export the same data.
Does Trailbound use GPS?
No. Story progress uses step and distance data from HealthKit or Health Connect and does not require a recorded GPS route.
