You can now sync your Garmin directly to YuLife, in order to earn YuCoin for your daily steps. Challenges will still track steps from your phone, which means you must keep your phone on you during challenges.
Currently, there is a sync delay in some devices, which will cause steps from Garmin not to sync until the end of the day. This will not affect your YuCoin, and steps/coins will be awarded and reflected correctly in your activity history the next day

Get Connected:
1. Make sure you have a Garmin account, and have set up your device to sync to it.
2. Open the YuLife app, and go to Settings in the top left menu.
3. Tap the toggle to turn on Garmin, which will open your browser and take you to the Garmin login page. Login with your Garmin account details.
Understanding Garmin Steps and YuCoin:
Your YuLife app will capture step data from both your phone's health app and your Garmin device. If you look at your activity history, you will be able to see the steps count from both. YuCoin will be awarded for whichever step count is higher, and that is what steps will be displayed on the app home screen as well.
NOTE: At the moment, challenges track steps from your phone. That means you must keep your phone on you during challenges.
