Hi! I understand you're having trouble finding the settings menu and sign-out option in the NYPL app on your iPhone with iOS 18.6.2. Let's get this sorted out together.
First, just to clarify, when you open the NYPL app, are you unable to see any menu icon (like three lines or a gear) at the top or bottom of the screen, or is the app interface different from what you expected?
Meanwhile, here are some steps you can try to locate the settings or sign-out option:
1. Look for a Profile or Account Icon: Many apps place user settings under a profile icon, often a silhouette or initials, usually found at the top right or bottom navigation bar. Try tapping on any such icon.
2. Swipe or Tap Around: Some apps hide menus behind a swipe gesture from the left edge of the screen to open a side menu, or a tap on your profile picture or name.
3. Update the App: Make sure your NYPL app is updated to the latest version through the App Store, as sometimes features like settings menus are added or moved in updates.
4. Reinstall the App: If the menu still doesn't appear, try deleting and reinstalling the app. Sometimes this clears glitches that might hide menus.
If after these steps you still don’t see the settings or sign-out menu, there may be a bug or a change in app design that removed or relocated the sign-out feature.
Could you please tell me if you are using the NYPL's own app or a third-party app like Libby or CloudLibrary? Also, if you could describe exactly what you see when you open the app, that would be helpful.
Let me know, and I’ll guide you through the next steps!
Thanks for confirming you’re using the NYPL app on your iPhone. The app primarily focuses on searching the catalog, requesting books, self-checkout, renewing materials, and fee payment. However, from what the NYPL app info shows, the sign-out option is a bit different than typical apps and may not be obviously placed under a traditional “Settings” menu1.
Here's what I'd recommend to find your account or sign-out option in the NYPL app:
1. Open the NYPL app and look for your profile or account section, often found by tapping your initials or icon at the top right corner. 2. Tap on your name or profile area to see account-related options — this may include managing your library card, loans, holds, or possibly a sign-out option. 3. If you don’t see a sign-out there, the app might maintain your login persistently and sign out may not be prominently provided in this version. 4. As a workaround, you can try to sign out by: - Closing the app completely (force quit in the app switcher). - Then go to your iPhone Settings > Scroll down to the NYPL app, and toggle off or reset any permissions, or uninstall the app as a last resort if you want to clear your login. 5. Re-install the app fresh if you want to start over with logging in.
If you want, I can check if there is a more detailed step-by-step guide or instructional video on NYPL’s site to help with navigating the app. Would you like me to do that? Or does this help you locate what you need in the app?
