Name changes across multiple devices

8 replies

Is there a way to sync name changes across multiple devices? I often switch between my phone and iPad and if I name change on one, the other device retains my previous name. I've lost track of the name change failures I've made Blush

I will try and remember to double check in future but is there a way to sync name changes for one account?

Hi RustyPaperclip,

We appreciate how much of a pain it is! You mention Ipad. Are you using the APP or the mobile site?

Hi Lorna, I'm using the app

Hello!

Bear with us... (this has come up before).

We believe that our app developers are looking into this. Would you mind if we double check this and drop back tomorrow with an update?

That's great, thank you!

Hello again! Grin

Name changing across different devices/platforms should update on the app.

Not immediately, but when the app relaunches after being quit, it will re-load user details, including the username.

Did you want to give it a go making sure to reload the app before posting?

Looks like it worked! I probably should have thought about relaunching the app Blush cheers for checking for me Smile

No worries at all!
