Enhanced Scheduled Sync (iOS only)
Subscription feature, App Store version only. See Premium Features for full details.
On iOS, standard scheduled sync is limited by background execution restrictions and may be infrequent (sometimes once every few days).
Enhanced Scheduled Sync uses silent push notifications to request syncs more regularly, as often as once per minute, even in the background. This feature requires a subscription and improves reliability for background syncing without needing the app to be opened manually.
