Quizlet Study Progress Not Saving? Check What Restarted

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.
