# Quizlet Study Progress Not Saving? Check What Restarted

*2026-11-14*

Say you stop partway through Quizlet Flashcards on your phone, then open the same set on your laptop and land back at the beginning. Quizlet says **X** saves your Flashcards round in the iOS and Android apps. The saved round stays on the device where you studied. Reopen **Flashcards** on that phone first.

## Check which screen changed

Open the original set using the same account. Look at the list of terms on the set page first, then check the activity where you noticed the change.

| What you see | What to check first |
| --- | --- |
| The terms are there, but **Flashcards** opens at the start on the same phone | Try the short check below with a practice set. |
| **Learn** opens at a different point | Reopen **Learn** on the device you last studied on and check the study path before using a reset. |
| The **Progress** groups look different | Compare **Not Studied**, **Still Learning**, and **Mastered** for the same set on the website and in the app. Quizlet says this Plus feature syncs the groups it builds from your answers across activities.

| Terms or recent edits are missing from the set itself | Copy any changes you can still see in the editor. For an unpublished draft, go back to the device and app or website where you created it and look under **Your library → Flashcard sets → In Progress**.

| The website says no spaced repetition cards are due | The spaced repetition session ends when you run out of cards due for review. To go through the full set, choose **Options → Study method → Browse cards**.

## See whether Flashcards resumes on your phone

1. Open a practice set in the Quizlet iOS or Android app and tap **Flashcards**. Pick a set with enough cards to stop partway through.
2. Review a few cards without finishing the round. Note the card number if the app shows one.
3. Tap **X**, then reopen **Flashcards** for the same set on the same phone. Check whether the round resumes or starts over. [Quizlet’s mobile Flashcards instructions](https://help.quizlet.com/hc/en-us/articles/360030988091-Studying-with-Flashcards)

Suppose you stop at card 4 in a 12-card set. If the phone resumes the round and the laptop opens at the beginning, that matches Quizlet’s instructions. If the phone keeps returning to the start after you exit with **X**, use those before-and-after details in a support report.

Leave **Restart Flashcards** alone while you check. It starts the round again. Quizlet shows it in the mobile steps for turning off sorting to study starred terms. [How to study only starred terms on Quizlet](/blog/quizlet-starred-terms/)

## Check Learn before you reset it

Quizlet says Plus study-path progress syncs across the website and mobile apps. If you just set up a path, select **Start studying** to save it. To check your place in an unfinished round, reopen **Learn** on the device you were studying on.

Leave **Restart Learn** or **Start Over** alone while you check. Quizlet lists these controls in its instructions for resetting a study path. A reset clears your Learn progress.

## What to send if Flashcards still starts over

If you can repeat the restart on the same phone, send Quizlet the set link, your phone model and app version, and the steps you took. Include the activity and what you saw at each step. A report could say “Flashcards showed card 4 of 12. After tapping **X** and reopening the same set on the same phone, Flashcards showed card 1 of 12.” [Contact Quizlet support](https://help.quizlet.com/hc/en-us/requests/new)
