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.

See this Apple document. Use the same Stocks watchlist on your Mac, iPhone, and iPad https://support.apple.com/guide/stocks/stocks-watchlist-mac-iphone-ipad-st60e8b8ef98/mac

You will not be able to see your stocks watchlist on iCloud.com.

There is no antivirus and no vpn, a clean system. I created a new apple id and everything works ... But sync does not work in the old apple id ... The error is on the side of Apple and the stock application, I hope that it will be fixed in the future.

I see. The sync process will work only for devices on iCloud with the same Apple ID. Maybe family sharing is what you'd like to use. See these Apple reads on Family Sharing.

Family Sharing - Apple Support

Set up Family Sharing – Apple Support

Leave Family Sharing - Apple Support

Move a child to another group using Family Sharing - Apple Support

Share an iCloud storage plan with your family - Apple SupportS

I have logged into my icloud and apple id on all my devices. There is a problem with the application itself.

If you boot into the Safe Mode, will they sync?

Reinstall Macbook, iphone, ipad twice with a clean system. There are no sync stock quotes on the ipad either. I also noticed that with every reinstallation of any device from scratch without restoring the backup copy, the old list of stock quotes that I changed 5 years ago on all devices is uploaded to me. And new stock quotes are no longer added to icloud ...

Are you running any anti - virus programs? Using a VPN?

Try setting up another admin user account in System Preferences/Users & Groups to see if the same problem continues.
