# Fix Sync Issues Between Luminar Mobile and Luminar Neo

If your photos aren’t syncing between **Luminar Mobile** and **Luminar Neo**, a few quick checks can usually resolve the issue.

***

### :technologist: Step 1: Verify Your Account

Make sure you’re **signed in to the same Skylum account** on both apps.\
Syncing works only when your mobile and desktop apps share the same Skylum login.\
\
If you're using a different account for Luminar Mobile, you will need to **Merge Accounts.** Please refer to the video tutorial below:

### :frame\_photo: Step 3: Confirm your Photo is Edited

Only photos with at least one applied **adjustment or edit** will sync.\
If your photo appears unchanged, apply a small adjustment (for example, exposure or contrast) to trigger synchronization.

### :globe\_with\_meridians: Step 4: Check Your Internet Connection

Syncing requires an active internet connection on both devices.

* If you’re using **Wi-Fi**, confirm both devices are online.
* If you’re using **Mobile Data**, ensure **Use Cellular to Sync** is enabled in Luminar Mobile settings.

### 🔄 Step 5: Restart the Apps

Sometimes, restarting helps reinitiate the sync process:

* **On Desktop (Luminar Neo):** Quit and reopen the app.
* **On Mobile:** Swipe down within the Luminar Space view to manually trigger re-syncing.

### 🧱 Step 6: Review Security Software

If you have **antivirus or firewall software** on your desktop, it may block synchronization.\
Try **temporarily disabling** it to see if syncing resumes.
