Walking Island

한국어 · 日本語

Walk to grow, decorate your island · iOS

Walking Island grows a friend from your steps. Every five steps earn one point of experience, and your friend grows at its own pace. It keeps walking with you in the Dynamic Island even while your phone is locked, and friends you have raised stay on the island, strolling about. All 48 pixel friends and every decoration were drawn for this app.

Nobody runs in this world. Everybody walks. So nothing here is in a hurry.

Frequently asked

My steps are not counting

Turn Walking Island on under Settings > Privacy & Security > Motion & Fitness. Steps come from the iPhone pedometer, so you need to carry the phone with you — a pocket or bag is fine. Opening the app catches up on everything you walked in the meantime.

I can't see my friend in the Dynamic Island

Tap “Walk in the Island” at the bottom of the Partner screen. The Dynamic Island itself appears on iPhone 14 Pro and later; on other devices your friend shows up as a Lock Screen Live Activity. If nothing appears, check that Settings > Walking Island > Live Activities is on.

I got a new phone and want my island back

From the Partner screen, tap ⋯ > Link account and connect Apple, Google, or Kakao. Sign in with the same account on the new device and the whole island returns — pebbles, the field guide, your decorations, and your step history. Link the account before you switch devices.

It says my island name is taken

Island names have to be unique so the leaderboard can tell everyone apart. Names that differ only in capitalisation or surrounding spaces count as the same name. Please pick another one.

How do I collect pebbles?

Friends walking around your island pick them up now and then — tap the one hopping in place to receive it. You can also complete the walk requests on the signpost, earn achievements, or watch an ad at the shop.

My friend disappeared

Fully grown friends are never lost. They move to your collection and keep strolling the island. Pick any of them from the field guide to walk together again.

I bought pebbles but never received them

Try restarting the app first. If they still haven't arrived, email us — we'll check the receipt on your Apple ID and sort it out.
