Do MagicBands track your steps?

You can use them to enter theme parks and Lightning Lanes, open your Disney Resorts Collection hotel room door, make purchases, access interactive features in the parks, and more. But unfortunately, MagicBands can't be used as a GPS tracker (seriously, it would be so cool if they could, though!).
