Q: How do I sync my IBKR Mobile watchlist with TWS desktop?

TWS desktop version Build 975 or higher includes the Auto-Synchronized Watchlist Library feature which provides synchronization of your Watchlists across all platforms, ensuring you get the latest version into mobile, desktop, or Client Portal. There is no need to decide which lists to import or sync, as all of your lists are always available. In cases where you have added a product on desktop that is not yet supported on mobile or Client Portal, it is preserved and displayed correctly in all versions. To open synchronized Watchlists: Tap Watchlist on the bottom tab bar then tap the three dots in the upper right corner of the Watchlist page. Tap Manage Watchlists. You will see the Watchlists you have open on the device, and from the Available section you will see other Watchlists synchronized from other platforms. Tap a Watchlist to view it, and then tap Add to add it as a tab on your Watchlist page. Find more information on watchlists in IBKR Mobile for Android and IBKR Mobile for iPhone in the Users' Guides.
