Battery sharing & updates

Real-time sharing and background behavior

Are battery levels shared in real time?

While BatterySync is open on each device, battery level changes are shared in real time.

When the app is in the background, updates occur only when the operating system allows them, so background updates are not always real time.

How often does background sync occur?

The timing of background updates is determined by the power management settings of iOS or Android. BatterySync cannot set a fixed update interval.

Does sharing work without Wi-Fi?

Yes. BatterySync can share data over a mobile data connection or any other internet connection. Information recorded while offline is updated after the connection is restored.

Does the app still update if I force-quit it?

Force-quitting BatterySync may stop or destabilize background updates. On iOS in particular, updates will not resume until you open the app again. We recommend leaving the app running in the background.

Why do battery levels and update times differ between devices?

Each device and operating system has different rules for reading battery information and limiting background activity. BatterySync displays the values provided by each operating system.

Why does iOS show battery levels in 5% increments?

This is a limitation of the battery information that iOS provides to apps. BatterySync cannot change it to 1% increments.

Free & Premium

Plan differences and subscriptions

What can I do with the free plan?

You can share battery levels for up to three devices and view the last seven days of battery history. The free plan has no time limit.

What does Premium add?

Premium removes the device limit and lets you view up to 90 days of battery history. It also includes CSV export and Smart Alerts.

What are the Premium billing periods and prices?

You can choose a monthly or annual subscription. Prices vary by country, region, and currency, so please check the amount shown on the App Store or Google Play before confirming your purchase.

Where can I cancel my subscription?

You can cancel from the App Store or Google Play subscription management screen. Selecting the Subscription Management button in the app opens the appropriate App Store or Google Play screen.

Does uninstalling the app cancel my subscription?

No. Uninstalling BatterySync does not cancel your subscription. You must cancel it through the App Store or Google Play subscription management screen.

Why am I not receiving Smart Alerts?

Smart Alerts are available only with Premium. Check that alerts are enabled in BatterySync and that your device has granted notification permission to the app.

Notifications may also be delayed or not delivered if the app has been force-quit or background activity is restricted by the operating system.

Account & data

Stored data and what happens when you uninstall the app

Where is my battery information stored?

Battery information shared between your devices is stored in Google Cloud Firestore. For details about the information we collect and how it is used, please see our Privacy Policy.

Does uninstalling the app delete my account and data?

No. Uninstalling BatterySync does not delete your account or stored data. To delete them, use the account deletion option in the app.

Does disconnecting Google or Apple also delete my BatterySync account?

No. Disconnecting BatterySync from your Google or Apple account settings does not delete your BatterySync account or data.

To permanently delete your account, sign in to BatterySync and select Settings → Account Management → Delete Account.

If you disconnected Google or Apple first, selecting Delete Account in the app will prompt you to sign in. Follow the instructions and reauthenticate using the same sign-in method to delete your account.

Can I remove a device from the list?

You can remove any device other than the one you are currently using. If BatterySync is opened again on a removed device and its information is updated, the device will reappear in the list.

Where can I review the terms and data handling details?
