Asana Mobile App Not Syncing
Ongoing Android, iOS Updated October 21, 2026
Quick answer
When the Asana app on Android or iPhone doesn't sync, update the app and OS, switch networks and reinstall. If comments or photos still never reach other users, it's often an Asana-side bug - report it to support with device and app version.
Most likely fix: Check for mobile outages.
Symptoms
Tasks, comments or photos added on the phone never appear on desktop, edits on desktop don't show on the phone, 'This couldn't be loaded' or 'An error occurred' messages, or due dates and assignees reverting.
Why it happens
- Outdated app or OS version
- Poor or switching connectivity (Wi-Fi vs mobile data)
- Corrupted local app data
- Asana-side mobile sync bugs (long-running Android reports)
- API/mobile outages (e.g. Sep 30, 2026)
