Understanding Synchronization

App version: 3.6.1 (From Google Play)
Android version: 15
Device model: Pixel 6a
Expected behavior: Synchronization happens automatically, based on app use or time.
Current behaviour: Requires manual synchronization on both devices
First occurred: (NA)

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Use the app on device 1
  2. Use the app on device 2
  3. Podcast status is not sync’d between devices
  4. No notification that sync has run
  5. Manual Synchronization has to be run, which works.
    Manual Sync requires syncing from Device 1, then Device 2, then back to Device 1 (to get changes when Device 2 was synced).

Is the above expected operation, or is there something that should be automatically triggering syncing?

Thanks

Sync happens automatically when syncing subscriptions and when opening the app (if not already opened within the last 60 minutes)

Yes, that is the expected operation. The installation of the AntennaPod app on each device has its own independent database, but you can use tools or methods (like the one you’re using) to synchronize them.
