To start, make sure you’re on the home screen of your phone, with the phone unlocked. Press and hold on any empty space on the screen until a menu appears. From the menu, select Widgets. Scroll through the list of widgets and find the Health option.
Here, find the Steps widget. Select any steps widget style you want to use. Tap on Add and the steps widget will now be placed on any of your home screens.

Select Next after selecting the data you want monitored, then tap on Start. Also, choose Agree to give location permissions.

You can further customize the widget. Simply press and hold the steps widget and tap on Settings. Under Widget Settings, you can choose the widget shape.
