  • Amazon Kindle reading apps Whispersync does NOT’sync’

    Sync automatically backs up and saves data from your Kindle devices and apps, including your reading position, notes, and highlights, to Amazon’s servers. Saved data syncs with all Kindle apps and devices linked to your account so you always have it readily available.

    Sync, formerly Whispersync, is already enabled by default on all Kindle devices and apps. Your device needs to be connected to the internet for Sync to work.

    If you would like to turn Sync off/on, use these steps.

    Turn off/on Sync on Kindle apps for iOS, Mac, Android, or PC.

    1. Open the Kindle app.
    2. Select More.
    3. Select Settings.
    4. Select Sync and confirm whether it’s off or on.

    Turn off/on Sync on all Kindle apps and devices linked to your account.

    Note: This doesn’t impact the Kindle Scribe. To turn off Sync for Kindle Scribe, refer to the “Turn off/on Sync on Kindle E-readers” section.

Some features are unavailable, including sharing your reading position across devices, and Export/Share for notes. Also, any notes, highlights, or bookmarks made while Sync is turned off, may be lost when turning this setting back on.
