Missing sync button (Android)

@MrJazz82,
This is because the I have a sync code option appears on the device you’re attempting to sync, not one that is already on the chain.

For example, my Android device after the process I laid out above only has Add new device as you describe. What this is saying is "I am a part of a sync chain and I have that chain’s information. Use me to connect more devices to this chain."

However, if I go to my iPad, Windows machine, Linux machine or whatever else that does not yet have an associated Sync chain, you will see the I have a Sync code option appear.

So if I want to add my Windows laptop to the same Sync chain I just created in the process I laid out above, I would:

  1. Go to my Windows laptop (for example)
  2. Open Brave.
  3. Menu --> Sync
  4. I have a sync code
  5. Then, I can or enter code words that are on my Android device, or on the initial desktop device I added to the chain, since they both have the necessary information.

Does this make sense?
