<p>Firstly, a purchase will be available on all devices logged into the same Google account, <em>if</em> (this is important) the app is installed via the same Google account too. You can select the account in the Play store app by tapping on the avatar at the top right, but only <em>before</em> installing the app. It is not possible to change the linked Google account after the app has been installed.</p>

<p>Google manages all purchases, so as a developer I have little control over purchases. So, basically, the only thing I can do, is suggest some things:</p>
<ul>
<li>Make sure you have an active, working internet connection, and turn off any VPN based app because it might prevent the Play store from checking purchases</li>
<p>Google backup is disabled to prevent privacy-sensitive information, like account credentials and email addresses, from <ahref="https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/data/autobackup">automatically being sent to Google</a>.</p>
<p>In theory, there is client-side encryption, but there is no specification available about what this means. Moreover, many people do not trust Google.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, it is not possible to enable cloud backup for other backup software without enabling Google backup. Whether Google backup is enabled needs to be specified in the app manifest. So, unfortunately, it isn’t possible to add an option for this.</p>
<p>As a replacement, you can back up and restore all settings, including the account settings and credentials, via the backup-settings tab page. This backup export uses a proper encryption method, <ahref="#faq36">see here</a>.</p>
