Sync Not Working After Switching Accounts Until Logging Out and Back In?
You switch accounts.
Nothing updates.
Data looks stuck.
Then suddenly — it works after you log out and back in.
If this keeps happening, it’s not random.
There’s a clear reason behind it.
Why Sync Only Works After Logging Out
When you switch accounts, the app doesn’t always fully refresh the session.
It may still be using cached data from the previous account.
This creates a mismatch between:
- the account you selected
- the session the app is actually using
That’s why sync appears broken.
It’s not loading the correct account data yet.
What Logging Out Actually Fixes
Logging out forces the app to reset everything.
- clears the session
- refreshes account identity
- restarts sync from the correct source
That’s why data suddenly appears after logging back in.
This Is a Common Trigger After Account Switching
This issue happens most often when:
- you switch accounts quickly
- multiple accounts are used on one device
- the app stays open during account change
In these cases, the session doesn’t fully update.
What You Should Do When Sync Looks Stuck
If data doesn’t update after switching accounts,
log out and log back in immediately.
This is not just a workaround.
It’s the fastest way to force proper sync.
If It Keeps Happening
If you need to log out every time,
the issue is likely session or cache-related.
You can reduce this by:
- closing the app before switching accounts
- avoiding rapid account switching
- keeping the app updated
Final Answer
If sync only works after logging out and back in,
the app isn’t refreshing your account session properly.
Logging out forces a reset — and that’s why it fixes the issue.
