Can I use the Fitbit app to track steps without a watch?

Can the app track steps without a watch being synced?  I know the Samsung Health app does that, but I don't see that as an option with fitbit as step count just says zero.

@Chijetfan Welcome to the Fitbit Community. 

The Fitbit app could be used to track steps, this could be done through MobileTrack, this will use your phone's sensors to track basic activity including, steps, distance and calories burned. Follow these steps to set it up if you have already have a Fitbit account: 

1. Log into the Fitbit app and tap the Today tab   > your profile picture.
2. Tap the option to set up a new device, and follow the MobileTrack instructions.

Hope this helps.

Is there any help you can offer when MobileTrack doesn't show up as an option in the new device list?
