    My tablet, Nvidia Shield running Android 7.0 also has Word installed. Word version 1.0.1 (16.0.11824.20002) and it has now stopped tracking where I left off!

    Word on my PC, version 1905 (Build 11629.20246 Click-to-Run) no longer "sees" where I left off with my phone OR my tablet.

    Look, developers, this isn't good. It's forcing me to work on my documents in different ways. I might as well be using Google Docs at this point. I need your feedback. Are you going to fix this or not?

Since making the original post, Word for Android has been updated three times and One Drive once. Word version: 1.0.1 (16.0.11824.20002) One Drive version: 5.33.4 The good news: THERE AIN'T ANY GOOD NEWS. IT'S STILL BROKE. The bad news: THE DEVELOPERS AREN'T INTERACTING WITH ME. Look, Word used to do this on my phone. It stopped with one of your updates. You should fix it. What can I do? Should I quit the Office Insider program and install the released version? I don't know because the developers are not talking. Come on people, you've done better in the past and you can do so once again.

      Last night I installed an update for One Drive on my Nvidia Shield tablet and my Pixel2 XL phone. 

       

      Both my phone and tablet have version 5.34.1

       

      Good news: Once again, my tablet tracks where I left off. My PC, once again, sees where I left off ON MY PHONE!

       

      Bad news: My phone still doesn't track. It doesn't even track itself.  Yes, I rebooted my phone after installing the updated OneDrive. I did not reboot my tablet and it works!!!

       

      I am up to help if I can. Please fix this as my phone is my #2 device for using Word.

       

      Thank you,
