Sync Not Working After Update? Won’t Sync Until You Log Out
You’re logged in.
But nothing syncs.
No updates.
No new data.
Just stuck.
Then you log out.
You log back in.
Everything starts syncing instantly.
This isn’t random.
Your session is broken.
You’re Logged In — But Sync Is Blocked
The app still shows you as logged in.
You can open everything.
You can use features.
But sync doesn’t work.
- no data updates
- no background sync
- no connection to latest state
The session exists — but it’s not usable.
What the Update Did
The update changed how your session is validated.
Your current session:
- was created before the update
- no longer matches the new validation rules
So it becomes partially invalid.
The app doesn’t log you out.
But it stops syncing.
Why Logging Out Fixes It
Logging out resets everything.
When you log back in:
- a new session is created
- authentication is refreshed
- sync permission is restored
That’s why sync comes back instantly.
Before that:
your session was broken.
Why There’s No Error
This is a silent failure.
The app:
- doesn’t log you out
- doesn’t show warnings
- doesn’t retry sync properly
It just stops syncing.
How to Confirm This
- sync stopped after update
- you’re still logged in
- logging out fixes everything instantly
If relogin fixes it, your session was the problem.
What Actually Fixes It
Log out and log back in.
- fully log out
- reopen if needed
- log back in
Until you log out, sync won’t come back.
What You Should NOT Do
Do not reinstall.
Do not assume data is lost.
Because:
- your data is safe
- your session is the issue
Fix the session first.
Final Answer
Your sync didn’t fail.
Your session broke after the update.
So when nothing syncs while you’re still logged in,
log out — that’s what unlocks sync.
