iCloud Sync

iCloud Sync is designed to keep your current AlignerSilk data updated across devices.

To enable it:

  1. Open AlignerSilk.

  2. Go to Settings.

  3. Find iCloud Sync.

  4. Turn it on.

When enabled, AlignerSilk syncs app data such as timer state, insights, journey progress, photos, and settings.

iCloud Backups

iCloud Backups are designed as a saved copy of your AlignerSilk data.

To enable backups:

  1. Open AlignerSilk.

  2. Go to Settings.

  3. Find iCloud Backups.

  4. Turn it on.

AlignerSilk will show the latest backup status when available.

Restore from iCloud

You can restore during onboarding or from Settings.

To restore from Settings:

  1. Go to Settings.

  2. Turn on iCloud Backups if needed.

  3. Tap Restore latest backup or Check for iCloud backup.

  4. Confirm the restore.

Before restoring

Restoring replaces the current AlignerSilk data on that device with the backup from iCloud. If you have recent data on the device that is not in the backup, it may be overwritten.

If iCloud is unavailable

Check that:

  • You are signed into iCloud on the device.

  • iCloud Drive is enabled.

  • AlignerSilk is allowed to use iCloud.

  • You have a stable internet connection.

  • You are using the same Apple ID that created the backup.
