data synchronization

Matching distributed records

Data synchronization is the process of ensuring that two or more locations contain the same up-to-date information.

When you sync your phone with a cloud service, changes made on one device propagate to the other so both reflect identical data.

Synchronization can happen in real time or at scheduled intervals, and conflicts arise when the same data is modified in multiple places before syncing occurs.

The app handles data synchronization automatically whenever you're connected to WiFi.
