Does SyncThing automatically back up everything? Settings, in app data, icon positions, bookmarks, messages, and browsing history?

If you through your phone in the ocean and gestured on another one, would your new phone look just like your old one?

And it’s been discontinued for Android….

How so? I want my backups to actually backup everything. No one cares about backups - they care about restores as the old saying goes.

If I can’t in fact throw my phone in the ocean when I’m away from my computer, go buy another phone, log in and everything is automatically restored, it’s a poor solution
