iCloud Sync & Storage
What to do when iCloud sync is paused or storage is full.
What is iCloud sync?
WatchieBesti uses iCloud to keep your besti, your graduated Family, your achievements, and your settings safe. Everything syncs automatically between your iPhone and Apple Watch as long as both are signed into the same Apple ID.
New device
Getting a new iPhone or Apple Watch? Sign in with the same Apple ID and your besti will be waiting: no manual export or restore needed. Sync can take a few minutes on a fresh install.
Pet looks different on Watch vs iPhone
iCloud sync may be catching up. Give it a few minutes; both devices will match once sync completes.
iCloud storage full: sync paused
Your Apple ID has run out of free iCloud storage. Your pet is safe on this device but won't sync until you free up space.
Manage iCloud Storage →Not signed in to iCloud
The app works without iCloud, but your progress won't transfer between devices. Sign in via Settings → [Your Name] on your iPhone.
Privacy
Your data is stored privately in your personal iCloud account. We never see it, and it's never shared with anyone. You can delete your pet data at any time from Settings → Danger Zone. Your Sparks and items are kept.
