iPhone How to Enable "Walking Asymmetry" in Health App?

[Newbert]

My iPhone 6S is running iOS 14. My Health App lists a feature called "Walking Asymmetry". Unfortunately, it's not working since it always shows "No Data". Can someone explain how to enable or activate this feature? The Health app works great as a pedometer for me, but "Walking Asymmetery" has never worked on my iPhone. ....And yes, I do walk with the iPhone in my front pocket.

While it might not matter to most, I have mobility issues, so it's important to me to keep track of this metric.

Thanks!
Bert

I've never had an issue getting a Walking Asymmetry value. I know it's using the iPhone accelerometer. Have you checked to see if the iPhone 6S supports that feature? Apple has put better accelerometers in their later phones. Maybe the iPhone 6S doesn't support that feature.

Thanks Guys. Yeah - I've updated to the iPhone SE (2020) and its starting to work now , though it's still building its data set over time.
