First try a forced restart, if that doesn't work reinstall the app. If that doesn't work contact the app developer for help with their software.


Try a forced restart.


• Press and quickly release the volume up button

• Press and quickly release the volume down button

• Press and hold the side button.

• When the Apple logo appears, release the button.
