Stocks app - does not sync via iCloud

I just upgraded to Catalina, so the Stocks app is available on Mac. I'm trying it but I cannot get my stocks list to sync, Mac to iPhone, or for that matter between 2 iPhones.

I have checked the iCloud settings box for Stocks on all 3 devices. On the phones, I got the message saying "What would you like to do with existing local Stocks data on your iphone?" I selected "Merge". But on my 3 devices, where I had different lists, nothing has merged. I tried adding a new stock symbol on one device, and I don't see it on others. Have tried making changes on all 3 devices to see if it works from any of them. Have tried restarting all devices. Still no luck. Other than this Stocks app, I use iCloud for other things and have had no problems. I am definitely signed into my iCloud account and everything else is working.

Hi there, Mrgonzo123.

I see that your watchlist in the Stocks application on your iPhone isn't syncing to other devices you use. Good job on the troubleshooting you've tried, and I'm glad to help with this.

Check stocks on iPhone -- Decide which iPhone has the most accurate watchlist, then turn off iCloud Stocks on the other iPhone. Set up the watchlist to meet your needs on this current iPhone, then turn on iCloud Stocks on the other one. If the correct one syncs to the other iPhone, turn iCloud Stocks on your Mac and see if they'll sync correctly now. If not, make sure you're signed into iCloud with the same Apple ID on all devices you want to sync to/from.

Let me know how that goes, and take care!

I tried everything and more. On all devices, did a reset without restoring from the backup, reinstalling the macbook with a clean system. Nothing helps, stocks are not uploaded to icloud ... I created a new apple id and everything works on it ...

Thanks for getting back to us with that information, Mrgonzo123. It's appreciated. Since a new Apple ID is syncing the information correctly, I'd like you to contact Apple Support.

Apple - Support - Product Selection -- After selecting this link, choose Other iCloud Features > This topic is not listed. Type "Syncing Stock information" in the text field > No Thanks. Continue. Then select how you'd like to start the conversation.

Cheers!
