iCloud & devices

Synchronize supported records with iCloud

Set up iCloud synchronization and troubleshoot records that differ between Apple devices.

With synchronization enabled, supported mutable records can reconcile across configured Apple devices. The bundled food catalog remains local on each device.

Mac

Turn on Sync with iCloud

1. Confirm each device uses the intended Apple account.
2. Confirm iCloud is available and the device has network access.
3. Enable BeFit Tracker’s Sync with iCloud setting.
4. Allow time for upload, download, and reconciliation.

Reconciliation is not blind overwriting.

BeFit Tracker uses stable record identities, timestamps, device sources, deletion state, and deterministic merge rules so supported records can converge.

If iCloud says disconnected

Verify Apple ID sign-in, iCloud Drive and account availability, network connectivity, and Apple system-service status. Reopen BeFit Tracker after correcting system settings.

If records differ between devices

Keep both devices online with synchronization enabled, confirm dates and time zones, and allow reconciliation to finish. On Mac, review the on-screen iCloud synchronization activity with support if the mismatch persists.

Do not delete the app as routine troubleshooting because doing so can remove local records.
