Question: How do I update PCC? Why should I update PCC?

One-time Sync Settings option on Android 1+ devices: PCC supports a one-time sync of your settings from the SD card when you upgrade the app on your Android 11+ devices. After the one-time sync, the app retains your settings for future updates automatically. Tap the Sync PCC settings option. Then tap the Copy PCC settings button and Yes to confirm.

A message displays to confirm the sync was successful. Press and hold the Restart PCC option to restart the app.

NOTE: If you attempt to Sync the PCC settings a second time, the app will notify you that settings files were Not detected. This is due to the fact that the files were already transferred from the SD card to device storage.
