I recently updated Anki on my MacBook to version 26.08.1. I also use Anki on my iPhone and iPad. Do I need to do anything specific on those devices after updating the desktop version, or can I simply continue using the existing versions and sync as usual? Is there any risk of compatibility or syncing issues if the versions are different? ---

The latest version of AnkiMobile (25.09) is compatible with the the latest desktop releases. There’s no risk of compatibility and sync issues. ---
