in iOS

I was able to setup a WLAN server from my Mac; however, when I go to my iOS app to sync between my app and my iPhone I do not see the 'sync' option when I go to settings on my iPhone. Any thoughts?

    Hi @ahmadsabbahi09!

    If you don't see the Sync tab in the Preferences, it means that you are syncing your data through 1Password.com because you have a 1Password Membership. With a Membership, sync is automatic so you don't need to configure anything manually :)

    Normally it's not necessary to use multiple sync method unless you know what you are doing, so to make sure we are on the same page: may I ask why you are trying to sync a vault with an external sync method when you have automatic sync through 1Password.com already?

    Thank you @ag_ana for your reply. I was trying to sync a vault that is locally stored on my desktop to my iPhone without sending it through the 1Password servers.

    @ahmadsabbahi09:

    Thank you for the clarification. Have you enabled standalone vaults in your 1Password for iOS app already (inside the app > Settings > Vaults > Enable Standalone Vaults)?

    @ag_ana Oh, I did not do that. I was able to enable it and it now works, thanks!
