The Status app is currently in its beta stage. This means the application is still undergoing active development, and certain features described in this document may function differently or be unavailable within the app.
If you use Status on more than one device, sync your profile so it's up to date on every device, and you can switch between them seamlessly. Without syncing, you are likely to set up the same options more than once and receive multiple notifications for one single message.
You can pair and sync up to three devices, including mobile devices and computers. You can sync a mobile device or computer with another device or computer.
Once you set up the syncing, your Status profile data on your devices are in sync automatically until you unpair the devices.
Your profile data includes your message status (read or unread) and configuration for the profile, messaging, notification and wallets.
When you sign in to your profile on another device, that device immediately appears in the list of devices for syncing.
If you have multiple profiles, you need to set up syncing for each one of them.
info
Your password and messages are not part of your profile data. If you change your password on one device, you need to manually update it on all devices where you use Status.
tip
When you sync a new device, only the messages sent or received in the last 30 days are available on your new device. Messages you receive from that initial sync are always available.
When setting up syncing, you need to reveal the QR code or sync code on the primary device and scan or enter the code on the other device. Sync codes and QR codes are only valid for a limited time. If the time expires, confirm your profile credentials again to get new one.
Turning off syncing degrades your experience with Status. But you can turn it off when you want to dispose of a device, or you see a device you don't recognize.
