I have the Authenticator app installed on two phones of mine and cloud backups turned on both. However, sometimes [read: every other month] I find that one of my phones suddenly stops syncing and cloud backup turns itself off on that device. On trying to turn it on, it'll overwrite everything from it [read: device with older data] over the newer cloud backup. The only way then to restore this device to the newest cloud backup is to reinstall the app and start from scratch/restore from backup.
Is this a bug only I am facing or multiple devices have issues keeping sync when cloud backups are turned on both of them[ and expectedly, changes made to one, should automatically mirror on the other]?
