Update : it currently for the iOS . After the update, on your first use, there will a prompt asking you to connect the Otp codes to your Google account . Tap no if you wish not to. You can remove binding with the account in the settings ( Tap your profile icon in GA app ).

Hey guys, i just noticed that the Logo of Google Authenticator app has changed and it has updated along with the feature of "Cloud Sync".

According to the update , the feature works like this :

"The sync feature was added by Google to help users back up their two-factor authentication code sequences to the cloud allowing them to save time and restore authentications on multiple devices just by adding a new instance of the app on devices logged into a specific Google Account".

If anyone has hacked / engineered into your google account, they can easily access the OTP codes and use them to get into your exchanges account, empty your funds (cuz they have OTPs now).

So if you are really sure that you can keep the devices very safe which has google auth app in it, you can turn off that cloud sync features to prevent your OTPs getting leaked.

Cheers.
