  • Tap Privacy and security > Clear browsing data.
  • Choose Cookies and site data and Cached images and files, then tap Clear data.

4. Adjust Chrome Site Settings (Android)

  • In Chrome, tap Settings > Site Settings.
  • Make sure that:
    • Cookies are allowed.
    • JavaScript is allowed.
    • Pop-ups and redirects are allowed (temporarily if needed for login).

5. Switch Networks (iOS and Android)

  • If you’re connected to a Wi-Fi network, switch to cellular data.
