I love the simplicity and power of Obsidian. It also lets me sync desktop and iPhone for free via iCloud.

How does that happen? Is it triggered by changes, or can I trigger it myself by flicking the page down? As long as the sync isn't determined by a schedule or hidden inside a menu, it could work for me.

As far as I know, there’s no specific button or action to trigger iCloud sync. I haven't notice issues, but I use the mobile Obsidian app much less frequently. It always seems updated to me.

This [source](https://help.noteplan.co/article/86-how-to-force-sync) says that opening the iCloud Drive on Finder will trigger sync. On the mobile Obsidian app, you can flicker the page down to download updated data, obviously it will only work if the more recent data was uploaded.
