The "swipe down for refresh" needs to be turned on at Settings -> Sync.

I still can't refresh on the "items for xxx" page. This would solve the problem

The issue is not on the app, but when using autofill i.e. in Safari. There is no way of refreshing/syncing from the autofill popup. Either a refresh button/pull to refresh or automated sync would work.

It's extremely annoying when trying to log in on a website whose password has just been created on another device. One needs to context-switch to the Bitwarden app for sync to happen.

I don't think it's a bug either, just a QoL feature request.

This still exists, I thought that something was wrong with my server that I need to go to the app every time and trigger a refresh. Really it would be a useful feature, either trigger a sync automatically when starting autofill popup or allow pull to refresh in the autofill popup.

Bump on this feature, seems like a huge QoL improvement and very possible to implement. I can try to look into it, if Bitwarden accepts pull requests for new features, but I've only worked with Android, so I don't know if I'd be able to implement it for both platforms, if even possible due to iOS's restrictions.

real shame such an easy to fix QOL feature/bug gets ignored for years.
Was just embarrassing when i convinced a friend to use this app just moments ago and had to tell him about this bug
