Hello @saeed_noshadi

Why should you exit from the account and log in again.? Is it a bug or it’s by design?

Please provide us steps to reproduce and we will investigate your case.

Also, would be nice if you share with us request’s result(error) for this point:

if I do not this, my new account data not loading

Hello.
I have same problem in iOS. I change user properties in server code (codeless) and my current user on client stay with old properties if I do not relogin. What I should make in this situation? How I can update current user on client without relogin?

Is it not clear why? I understood with my poor English. If he does not relogin, then his current user on client remains with the old properties. The current user on client does not synchronize with the data on the backendless.

For reproduce this problem, change, please, any custom properties (not password or id) of current user in console and update current user on client without relogin

Now I see what you are talking about.
Alright, to synchronize currentUser on the client with user object on the server you have two options:

  1. using RealTime (RT) listeners, just subscribe on data changes for the object in Users table and each time when you receive this event update properties in your currentUser on the client
const currentUser = await Backendless.UserService.getCurrentUser()
const rtHandlers = Backendless.Data.of('Users').rt()

rtHandlers.addUpdateListener("objectId = 'YOUR_CURRENT_USER_ID'", updatedUser => {
    currentUser.name = updatedUser.name
    currentUser.email = updatedUser.email
    ....
})
  1. retrieve up-to-date user object and merge it into your currentUser time to time with interval or after specific request
const currentUser = await Backendless.UserService.getCurrentUser()
const updateUser = await Backendless.Data.of('Users').findById(currentUser.objectId)

currentUser.name = updatedUser.name
currentUser.email = updatedUser.email
....

does it make sense?
