Hippo can sync and backup data to your private iCloud drive to synchronize across your devices. And you will have a backup in case you lose your device.

Note: iCloud sync is available from Hippo 1.4 and only on devices running iOS 13 or later.

Do this on every device you want to synchronize data with.
