Step count sync

Is there any means of garmin connect syncing the step count from other apps ?
I generally only wear my garmin for activities,
while my phone (samsung s9)
counts steps via the samsung health app all the time my phone is with me, is there a way to retreive the step count from the samsung health app to garmin connect?
ive had a search around an have tries installing the fitnessyncer app, which has synched and now has all my activity data , and steps from samsung health, but cant sync the step count to garmin connect.
in garmin connect settings , 3rd party apps it only lists office 365, my fittnes pal and strava.
thanks in advance.

You can sync steps to 3rd party applications, but Garmin will not read any steps from them. You can only use Garmin devices to enter the steps. If you do not want to wear your watch all the time (not even in a pocket), just get a cheap podometer such as Vivoki, or a simple fitness tracker such as Vivoactive 3, that you can clip on your belt, shoe, or let in a pocket.
