## What is vault syncing?
Vault syncing is purely downloading the latest content from your Bitwarden vault onto your device for access. '
In some cases, this happens automatically. On iOS and Android apps, Bitwarden leverages push notifications to kick-off a **personal** vault synchronization.
**Organization Vaults** synchronize to devices every 30 minutes, or upon manual sync.
## When does my vault sync?
### Mobile APPS
The Bitwarden mobile apps sync **personal** vaults automatically.
Organization vaults are synchronized once every 30 minutes, or on-demand by navigating to:
**Settings > Sync > Sync Vault now**
{%note%}Self-hosted users can enable Push notifications powered by the Bitwarden cloud.{%endnote%}
### Browser extensions
The Bitwarden browser extensions sync **personal** vaults automatically.
Organization vaults are synchronized once every 30 minutes, or on-demand by navigating to:
**Settings > Sync > Sync Vault now**
### Desktop applications
The Bitwarden desktop apps sync **personal** vaults automatically.
Organization vaults are synchronized once every 30 minutes, or on-demand by navigating to: **File > Sync Vault**
### Command-line interface
The Bitwarden CLI client syncs **personal** vaults automatically.
Organization vaults are synchronized once every 30 minutes, or on-demand by running the command: ```bw sync```
## Common issues
- Pulling to refresh on mobile applications does **not** sync your vault. You must do so within the application settings.
- Sync failure can occur if your devices time is not correct. Syncing (and all of Bitwarden services) require TLS/SSL, which will fail to connect to a host with invalid timestamps.
