Resetting an app - how to do it easily

In the App Store you will find a constantly growing selection of apps - both for Android and iPhone. If an app no longer works, then simply reset it. This works slightly differently depending on the operating system.

Benefits of resetting an app

It can happen with any app that at some point it no longer works properly due to a software error. This can happen especially if the settings have been changed too much. Also, it can happen that you update your phone and the app is not compatible with the new update.Want to reset an Android app, proceed as follows:

1. Using an Android, first open the settings.
2. Tap on "Apps" or "App Manager" and find the affected app in the list.
3. Now select either "Clear cache" or "Reset".

If you use an iPhone instead, you can reset the app only conditionally:

1. Open "Settings > General > Profiles or Profiles & Device Management.
2. Tap the corresponding app and then "Delete".

How to reset your apps?

If resetting the app did not help, try reinstalling it.

1. First you need to uninstall the app. When doing so, you should make sure that you do not lose any important data. For example, with a messenger like WhatsApp, you should make a backup of your chat history. So you grant that no data is lost.
2. After you have uninstalled the app, download the app from your respective app store.
3. When you install it, all new updates are downloaded. You have successfully reset your app.
