Disable step counter to save battery?

Hello,

I installed a clock face that has Clockinfo as a dependency.
Even though I uninstalled the Health app, I was able to see the number of steps I took today.

Does that mean that Clockinfo logs steps in the background?

Is the impact of logging steps significant on the battery life?

Thanks

Afaik the step counting is part of the firmware and always running. Health & co only display the value. In the case of health the value is also persisted.

Thanks.
Well, if it is always running I suppose that's great, because the battery life is already very long.

Hi - yes, no need to worry about step counting - that's all built in and the power draw from that is extremely small

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
