+# How to manually sync an Android device
+
+Android hosts sync data automatically when they change, but changes may not appear immediately due to Google rate limiting.
+
+There is a way to manually sync an Android device, which can be useful for testing purposes.
+
+## Sync policies
+
+1. Go to your Work Profile in **Settings**:
+   1.1 Google devices: select your name at the top of **Settings**, then select your Work Profile.
+   1.2 Samsung devices: select **Google**, then select your Work Profile.
+2. Scroll to the bottom and select **Device Policy**.
+3. Select the three dots in the upper right corner, then select **Sync policies**.
+   - The message at the top of the screen should change to "Synced now".
+
+## Developer options
+
+On some devices, you may need to enable Developer options first.
+
+1. Go to **Settings > About phone**, and select **Build number** seven times.
+   - A message will display during this period: "You are now _x_ steps away from being a developer."
+2. Enter your PIN when prompted.
+   - After successfully authenticating, a message will appear: "You are now a developer!"
+
+To disable Developer options:
+
+1. Go to **Settings**:
+   - Google devices: select **System > Developer options**.
+   - Samsung devices: select **Developer options** at the bottom of Settings, under About phone.
+2. At the top, select the toggle to turn off Developer options.
