Are you experiencing slowness, crashing, freezing, blank screens, or some general issue within Shift? Our troubleshooting basics can help! Use this article for some basic, but effective troubleshooting tips, and where to find additional resources that can help get things back on track! 🤓

 

Top basic troubleshooting tips

  1. Hard refresh. Just like it sounds, this refreshes the entire app. Press Cmd Shift R or Ctrl Shift R on your keyboard to hard refresh.
  2. For emails: Click into your email and double-click the Email icon towards the upper right corner to fully refresh your email.
  3. For web apps (Facebook, WhatsApp, Teams, etc.): Add a second instance of the app to your setup (don't delete the first instance giving you issues). Log into the second instance, then delete the first.
  4. Data reset: resetting your app data often remedies a wide range of issues! Check out our step-by-step instructions, by operating system below:
    1. For Mac
    2. For Windows
