Our mobiles have become true pocket computers, in fact they have the same components as these, both at the hardware and software level, and therefore also suffer similar problems. This is the case of account synchronization , which sometimes gives us certain problems with certain apps, today we tell you how to solve them.
That a certain account does not synchronize well can have many consequences, the most common is that problems appear in the operation of some applications and even in the use of the operating system. To limit these problems as much as possible, we can work with some of these solutions.
What happens when accounts are not synced?
Undoubtedly the most common in these cases is that due to lack of synchronization some data from our accounts are lost. Or rather, these are not updated correctly, so we may be using outdated information instead of updated if it does not work properly. In addition to seeing certain error messages when we open the applications and these cannot be updated regularly.
The lack of synchronization of an account can have many causes, and therefore different solutions. Although the most normal thing is that they are specific problems that occur temporarily, so they should not worry us too much. In any case, if we find ourselves immersed in these problems, we can try the following.
Solve it from your mobile settings
It may be that for some reason the operating system of your phone has temporarily stopped working correctly, which has resulted in the loss of functions when synchronizing accounts. Well, it is something that we can easily solve for both Google accounts and other apps . In order to solve it we must do the following:
- Enter your phone settings
- Click on “Accounts” or if you cannot find it, search for “Accounts” in the upper bar and enter the section
- Click on the account you want to synchronize
- Select the three vertical dots in the upper right
- Press “Synchronize now”
You will see how the original synchronization date of the account changes and is updated to the current time, it is normal that this way the synchronization problems of the accounts are solved.
Check the internet connection
Another cause that can cause these synchronization problems in accounts can be the lack of an Internet connection . As it is not logically active, the data is not synchronized, and therefore the account synchronization may have been temporarily suspended. Therefore check that it is not a connection problem that is causing the problems with the synchronization.
Is there a problem with the account?
Sometimes these synchronization problems stem from the existing problems with the accounts themselves. If these stop working correctly, logically they will not be able to synchronize as they normally do. So another alternative will be to go to the configuration of the Google account or any of the apps that are giving you problems, and check that it works correctly and that it is active.
Remove the account and add it again
As it happens so many times, restarting or reinstalling are usually quite common solutions to problems of all kinds of our mobiles. In the case of accounts, if the problems persist, we can try to remove the account and add it again , for this we must do the following;
- Enter your phone settings
- Click on “Accounts” or if you cannot find it, search for “Accounts” in the upper bar and enter the section
- Click on the account you want to synchronize
- Select the three vertical dots in the upper right
- Press “Remove account”
- Restart the phone
Now enter the same section of the phone, and at the bottom click on ” Add account ” and choose an account of the app that has given you problems, or re-identify yourself in that account from the app to which it belongs. In this way, it is normal for us to end any of the usual problems that these accounts can give.
Update your mobile
It is not uncommon for the different versions of Android to cause certain problems in the operation of the accounts. Sometimes some of them may stop working due to lack of compatibility . For that reason it is always advisable to update the phone so that we always have the latest software installed and therefore compatibility with the apps and their respective accounts is maximized. Sometimes a simple security update can be the solution to the synchronization problems of our mobile accounts.
