This is Mistress Kat wrote: Agreed ladies. I’ve often received items that I have removed from my wish list for hours afterwards. I thought perhaps it was just due to people having seen it before the change but sent the item later. But that doesn’t really make sense! Yet at the same time, others send me new items I’ve replaced the old with, so I’ve no clue how this works at all!

Mistress Kat This leads me to wonder if it requires that both, the friend requesting the gift and the friend giving the gift update the game on the MyTona servers?

Let me see if I can explain that.

(1) The friend who requests the gift: That person changes their WL. They then have to visit a friend or do a force close/open to the game to send their new WL to MyTona's servers.

(2) The friend who's giving the gift: That person has to do something to cause their game to get the updated WLs from MyTona.

It would be extremely difficult to have real-time updating for everyone's WLs (yours and your friends) so it would seem reasonable to think there are things we do on the game that not only sends our WL updates to MyTona, but also gets our friends WL updated from MyTona.

So if you change your WL, but don't do anything to send the new WL to MyTona, no one can see your changes. However, if you do send your new WL to MyTona, but your friend doesn't do anything to get that new WL, then they will continue to see your old WL.

Any headaches yet? 😂

The moral of the story is when changing your WL or preparing to gift to others' WLs, you need to do an activity that will send/receive new info to/from MyTona. What precisely can actually accomplish that is unknown, but I'm thinking anything that causes your game to "blink" (such as when TT, playing a room, visiting a friend) will work.

To know for sure, I'd need to test it out while actively communicating with a friend so we can see what triggers sending/receiving info to/from MyTona.
