This means that when you add, change, or delete your information in any of these applications on the Web, the updated information also appears on your phone, and vice verse. Also, if you lose your phone or if your phone is destroyed, your personal information is not lost and will appear, as before, on a replacement phone.

This mirroring of information happens through over-the-air data synchronization, or data “syncing”. Data syncing occurs in the background and shouldn’t ever get in your way. Because sending large amounts of data back and forth over the air can take time and require considerable bandwidth, there are some settings on the phone that allow you to control data sync.
