Backtrack on your Apple Watch helps you track your hiking route so you can retrace your steps if you get lost. It’s available on Apple Watch Series 6 and later, including the Apple Watch SE. To use Backtrack, open the Compass app and tap the Backtrack button in the lower right corner to start recording your route. When you want to retrace your steps, tap the pause button and select “Retrace Steps.” A white arrow will appear on the compass to guide you back to where you started Backtrack. Once you reach your original location, the arrow disappears, and you can choose to continue recording or delete your steps.
