A common fix to some problems you may have run into using your INEQE Group App.
If you experience any of the following errors when logging into your Web Management Portal for your App, or even if you're having a few issues with your App itself, we will often recommend that you clear your Cache or Browsing History, or we may ask you to clear your App Cache or Data. If you're unsure how to do this, select your browser or device below and we'll guide you through the process.
These steps may offer solutions to the following errors:
- The Web Management Portal won't load and is just a white screen.
- Images in the App appear to have not updated.
- App is stuck on a particular page, even if uninstalled and reinstalled from the App store.
- "Oh No! Something has gone wrong" error message on the Web Management Portal.
Note if you are on the most up to date portal version, you should no longer need to clear your Browsing Cache to rectify any issues.
Clearing App Cache/Data on Mobile Devices
iPhone
There are 2 ways to do this on iPhones. You can either Clear Temporary Data or Offload app data.
Follow the steps below to offload an app on your iPhone. This will free up storage used by the App but keep its data. If you have to reinstall the app, the data will have been saved.
Step 1: Open your device Settings, and then select General.
Step 2: Go to iPhone Storage.
Step 3: Scroll down and locate the app you want to offload and select Offload
When it comes to clearing app cache data, some iOS versions do not have this option. If yours does, you'll see an option that read Clear Data at Next Start when you navigate to the app page in settings.
Android
Clearing the cache on Android phones can take 2 forms as the Google Play store has its own cache.
Clear the Google Play Store Cache
Step 1: Make sure your Google Play Store is up to date.
- Open the Google Play Store app.
- Tap the profile icon in the top right corner.
- Go to Settings > About > Play Store Version > Update Play Store.
- Restart your device.
Step 2: Clear Cache and Data from Google Play Store.
- On your Android phone or tablet, open the Settings app.
- Tap Apps.
