First of all, we should understand the main principle of mobile phone step counting. As we all know, smart phones are smart because they have a variety of sensors built in, including gyroscopes, accelerometers, compasses and so on. , you can always know our sports state and make appropriate feedback. When the human body walks, there is a forward acceleration and a backward acceleration, and the center of gravity will move up and down a little. This kind of movement is very regular, so the sensor will collect these movement data sensitively and count the number of trips through a series of algorithms in the background.
So frankly speaking, there is no special technical content in mobile phone step counting, and the required sensors are also very common. Almost every smartphone will be built-in, which can theoretically count steps. But the key problem lies in the processing of this part of the data. Step counting requires that the CPU is always awake to collect and process sensor data. Although the step counting algorithm is simple, considering that step counting is a long-term continuous process, power consumption can not be ignored. No one wants to turn on the step counting function, and the mobile phone will be crazy and dead. In order to solve this problem, since the iPhone5s, Apple has integrated a low-power processor in the CPU, which is responsible for processing the information collected by sensors, so as to monitor and reduce power consumption at any time. This is the M7 coprocessor. Since then, every generation of iPhone has been equipped. Therefore, from the iPhone5s to the later Apple phones, as long as the settings are correct, step counting is not a problem.

Since the iPhone5s, the iPhone has integrated the M-series coprocessor.
Influenced by Apple, the processors of Android phones are gradually equipped with similar coprocessors, which can also have the step counting function. However, due to the diversity of Android phone processor chips, the firmware version is seriously fragmented and it is not easy to adapt to the WeChat campaign, so only some Android phones support step counting at present. From the official adaptation models given by WeChat, including Samsung S6 edge+, LG Nexus5, Glory 7, Huawei Mate S, Redmi Mobile Edition, Meizu MX5 and so on. The model will be updated from time to time. For details, please check the issues related to the WeChat campaign.
At this point, it also explains why some users' WeChat activities cannot be counted. So, how to solve it? I don't know if it will be the Year of the Monkey. Changing the mobile phone that supports step counting may be the most direct choice. At the end of the article, Bian Xiao listed several models for you, covering the mainstream price range to help you choose. If you don't want to continue to invest in mobile phones, can you still realize the step counting function with this existing mobile phone? The answer is yes. Here are some practical suggestions for you. You can achieve the same effect with little or no money.
"First, wear smart wearable devices.
At present, smart wearable devices, taking the most common bracelets as an example, are equipped with three-axis acceleration sensors, which are similar in principle to mobile phone step counting and have step counting function when worn on the hand. Wechat supports the access of these devices, uploads the step counting data to social networks, and shares the likes. At present, there are more than a dozen smart bracelets with step counting function, such as Huawei, Lexin, Gudong, Xiaomi, Garmin, iHealth and Misfit***. The cheapest mi belt only needs 69 yuan, and the desired effect can be achieved with little investment.

"Second, access to third-party applications.
At present, there are many sports apps that can call the mobile phone sensor, our motion state and trajectory, but it takes a long time to record during the exercise, which leads to high power consumption and affects the battery life of the mobile phone. Mainstream apps include Music Power, Boom, Yuedong Circle, Dongdong and so on. You only need to bind the micro-signal in the APP and pay attention to the corresponding WeChat official account, so you can synchronize the sports data to WeChat sports. However, it is troublesome to open the app in advance every time you walk, but if you are diligent, the effect will be the same.

Solve the confusion of countless steps. The following small series will help you interpret the accuracy of step counting and analyze the secrets of those who walk tens of thousands of steps every day in your circle of friends. Bian Xiao uses the 50-step and 100-step test methods to see how accurate the step counting is when climbing stairs, walking normally and running. During the test, Bian Xiao used a mobile phone with its own step counting function. Glory 7' s Kirin 935 processor integrates an i3 coprocessor, which is convenient to carry and the test officially begins.

From the results, considering that the author needs to take the mobile phone out of his pocket when doing statistics, the shaking of the mobile phone will obviously bring some errors. Excluding these, the step counting results are still relatively reliable. Carrying a day's work, considering that the user's steps are basically maintained at several thousand steps, the usage scene is relatively complex, and the errors cancel each other out, which is basically negligible and can accurately reflect the user's daily exercise situation.
Of course, there are also some cheating methods, such as shaking the phone in place, and the sensor will mistakenly analyze the step counting data and add the number of steps. There are news reports,
In order to dominate the circle of friends, a young man in Xiamen, Fujian uses a hand-cranked mobile phone to increase the number of steps every day. The result was tragic-not only was my wrist stiff and sprained, but I couldn't even hold my mobile phone. Therefore, it is really unnecessary to cherish health and cheat.
Finally, what Bian Xiao wants to say is that the WeChat movement has inspired everyone's enthusiasm for sports and given walking more interesting significance. Don't worry too much about a step ranking, you can choose a healthy lifestyle, and having a healthy body is more important than anything else. Today, people pay more and more attention to life and health, so let's put down our mobile phones and go out for a walk.
Nowadays, people pay more and more attention to health problems. Wechat campaign has given us more fun to exercise. For a long time, it has become a fashion for friends to share their achievements and praise each other. It makes more sense to have a mobile phone that supports WeChat step counting. Below Bian Xiao recommends several mobile phones that support WeChat step counting, covering mainstream prices, ranging from thousand yuan mobile phones to flagship machine, hoping to help you choose.
