@Confirmed it was there prior to the beta update (I did not manage to take a screenshot, that's why need to refer to the link).

I really can't recall if I had B&S in my programs. Maybe @ could find out if Backup & Sync was in the programs of WSAC before going to Beta?
HI smith2006,

I think the icon was a leftover from an older version? I haven't seen that icon. I just open the app to access B &S. I checked around in the settings and I don't see a way to add the icon to your app drawer or home screen. Webroot must have ditched the icon a few versions ago.

Sherry. Are you able to approve smith2006's pics so we can see them? Thanks if you can. :)

BD I also think B&S hasn't been around for awhile. I've looked everywhere to see if it was preloaded somewhere. Nothing. ..
Thanks for unmasking the pics, Sherry. It seems that there are already different versions of the brand new Beta. 😃

I wonder where smith2006 is from? Maybe it's already tomorrow (Wednesday) where he or she is at? Or perhaps the version varies by location?

I haven't noticed any visible changes. I believe most of the changes are going on behind the scenes, so to speak.

A few things have changed: in General Settings. "Faster Scans" and Support Options show "Change account "and not sure if Collect and mail logs was there before?

Hi smith2006,
 
The Webroot Android User Help Guide for Backup & Sync mentions an icon on the home panel. Unless this is outdated material which I doubt since Webroot put these articles up a year or so ago. But that doesn't mean that the Webroot newer versions didn't change this...
 
But it sure looks like the Beta has taken the icon away. Backup & Sync is easier to open and use now without having to continously sign in with your email and password....

Thanks for the reply, Sherry. :D
 
There's no iisue whether the icon is there or not, the purpose of my earlier post is to find out whether it is byi-design (if it is not, easier to rectify during the early stage of beta than later ).

HI Smith2006,
 
You're welcome and thank you for explaining that. Sorry about that I thought you were stuck on that B & S icon. Maybe I'm the one that's concerned over it? LOL Yes you are right making sure it's by-design while in the early stages of Beta. Aha I get it! 🙂

Hi Sherry,
 
I believe that's the version we all (here on this board) have. smith2006 commented that his version was now 4.0.5.8560 (perhaps version 4.1.1.8039 was his release version prior to Beta update?)

Perhaps we can get a confirmation from @. ;)

Probably BD..but I would think we'd all run the same Beta version?

Thanks for your response. We will wait for Drew for confirmation. 😉
