Hi Guys! Actually I wanted to know if I can share the database of an app with a webapp? so that users can register both from browser and app ---

have not tested yet - but from what i ve read - i would think its totally working this way since Adalo is hosting everything related to the DB if you want to. Also interested in using that feature next too… 😉 ---

I think it will work between native apps and mobile web app, but not between native apps and a desktop web app ---

inside the builder I can see the database already linked, I have not produced a webpage still so Have you looked in the tutorials on this matter of database ? youtube [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCy3qpkwqXcxgnLgmA\_qbTpw](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCy3qpkwqXcxgnLgmA_qbTpw) help doc [Database - Adalo Resources](https://help.adalo.com/database) other tutorials ---

Yes this is possible @prakharm8. When you create a new app (web or mobile), in the last step click “Advanced options”. There you can select to use an existing database. This option could be displayed more prominently perhaps, because it’s very useful but a bit hidden. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/adalo/original/2X/8/8f19b81b28da899fb88cf7f79520f7d62a273943.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/adalo/original/2X/d/d61ee0290f8e38ff9573e9191ced7322aff0b1e0.png) ---

What exactly doesn’t work? If you create a record in one app, it doesn’t show up in the other with the shared DB? ---

Is it possible to share the db when you are using a template cause i’m using the chat template ---

Yes this is possible. I’m not sure how this can be the case though as a shared db is just a single db. Can you DM the app name and app ID (URL) of these 2 apps please. ---

Yes, @prakharm8, this is doable. Click “Advanced settings” in the last step of creating a new app (web or mobile). You can choose to use an existing database there. This option might be highlighted more brightly because it is quite beneficial but is a little concealed. ---

Does it work between web app and native app? I created a web app for desktop first but can’t login with the native mobile app with the same credentials and the database doesn’t reflect the user records.
