**WHAT IS THE BUG**  
For desktop version of anytype, sync seems to work as follows:  
Device 1 ↔ anytype server ↔ Device 2

For android version, it works as follows:  
Android ↔ Device 2

It seems like android app only connects to other devices directly (without the server in between).

If anytype is not open on my PC, my android phone shows “No connection” in the sync indicator and won’t sync the edits I made on my PC until I open anytype on my PC at the same time.
