Hi! I’m sorry to hear your Pocket app is showing a “Something went wrong” error. Let’s get this sorted out together. To start, could you tell me a bit more about what you were doing when the error popped up? For example, were you trying to open a saved article, log in, or something else?
Meanwhile, I’ll share some common steps that often resolve this issue on Android devices like yours:
1. Check your internet connection: Make sure you have a stable Wi-Fi or mobile data connection.
2. Restart the Pocket app: Close the app fully (use your device’s app switcher to swipe it away) and then open it again.
3. Clear the Pocket app cache: - Go to your phone’s Settings > Apps & notifications > Pocket. - Tap on Storage & cache. - Tap Clear cache (this won’t delete your saved items).
4. Update the Pocket app: Open Google Play Store, search for Pocket, and see if there’s an update available. Using the latest version helps avoid bugs.
5. Re-login to Pocket: Sometimes logging out and back in can refresh your account connection.
If the error persists after these steps, there might be an issue syncing your saved items or a server-side glitch. In that case, please let me know if you can access your saved items at all or if it's a complete failure to load anything.
Also, do you have the latest Android 10 updates installed? That can sometimes impact app behavior.
Let me know how these steps go, and we’ll take it from there! Are you satisfied with this initial guidance?
