Why do I need to open the app to sync?

Hello.

I have noticed that I need to OPEN the 1password app in order to sync newly created items up to the iCloud.
Also, on other devices, I need to OPEN the app in order to sync these new items onto the device.

This is a hassle.

Why can't this be done in the background, using the iOS "background app refresh"/"background fetch"?

Best regards,
Basse

    Hi @Bassebus,

    Thanks for taking the time to write in with this concern. I agree; it would be great if 1Password for iOS could be in sync all the time, even if not running (much like we are able to do on Mac/Windows). I'm told by our developers that technical restrictions on iOS prevent this sort of arrangement. If that were to change in the future we'd certainly be willing to look into it.

    Sorry I don't have the answer you were hoping for!
