If you see this message, you need to update Things on all your devices to restore your sync:
You’ve used a newer version of Things on another device. Please update to the latest version of Things on this device as well to continue syncing.
If you don’t see the update on the App Store right away, restarting your device might help.
Why am I seeing this message?
On September 17, 2020, we released Things 3.13 with some new features. To sync the new features between your devices, your Things Cloud account was upgraded to a new version.
If you’re seeing the above message, it means that one of your other devices has already updated to Things 3.13 and upgraded your account, but the device where you’re seeing the message is still running an older version of Things.
Update Things to fix your sync
All you need to do is go to the App Store on each of your devices and update Things to version 3.13 (it’s a free update).
You can go directly to the App Store to update, or tap the button labeled Check for Updates inside the message you see in Things.
Once you’ve completed the update, Things will resume syncing. No further action is required.
