## 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 device’s time is not correct. Syncing (and all of Bitwarden services) require TLS/SSL, which will fail to connect to a host with invalid timestamps.
