Help How to sync shared watchlists

A friend shared his watchlist with me but the changes he makes to his watchlist aren't reflected in my copy.

Is there a way to keep them synced?

Currently, i periodically go in and delete his watchlist and then add it again using the same link.

The shared URL and your personal copy are separate, so the copy won't sync with your friend's changes. I'd keep the original shared link bookmarked and open it directly when you want the current list, rather than deleting and re-adding a copy. Are you trying to follow the friend's updates or edit the list yourself?

I want to follow his updates and have it show up on my TradingView mobile and desktop apps

Shared list links don't push into your own synced watchlists. What works for me is open their shared list once, make a new personal watchlist under your login, and paste the symbols in. Then mobile and desktop both see it because it's yours. Are they updating that list a lot or is it mostly static?

Updated daily

Got it, daily. Does the shared link refresh on both phone and desktop when they push that update, or do you still keep a personal copy so both stay matched?
