Hi there! I understand that in Little Farm Story on your iPhone, the ads won’t close properly, and you have to shut down and restart the whole app each time without receiving any credit for watching the ads. Let's work through this together.

To get started, could you tell me if this issue happens every time you watch an ad, or just sometimes? Also, have you already tried any fixes like restarting the app, reinstalling, or checking for updates?

Meanwhile, here’s a step-by-step approach to troubleshoot this ad issue:

1. Force Close and Restart the App
Since you mentioned restarting, continue to fully close the app (swipe it away from the app switcher) and then reopen it. Sometimes this helps clear temporary glitches.

2. Check for Updates
Make sure your Little Farm Story app is updated to the latest version in the App Store. Updates often fix bugs related to ads.

3. Check Network Connection
A poor or fluctuating internet connection can cause ads to freeze or not credit properly. Try switching between Wi-Fi and cellular data to see if the problem persists.

4. Clear App Cache or Reinstall the App
Unfortunately, iOS doesn’t have a simple “clear cache” option but you can delete the app and reinstall it. This can clear corrupted data related to ads. Make sure your game progress is backed up (via Game Center or cloud save) before reinstalling.

5. Check iOS Restrictions or Ad Settings
Sometimes Content & Privacy Restrictions in iOS can block proper ad functions. Go to Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > Allowed Apps and ensure nothing related to ads or the game is restricted.

6. Try Watching Ads in a Different Environment
Sometimes ads are region-specific or ad servers have issues. Testing the ads with a different internet setting or turning on/off VPN (if used) might change ad behavior.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, this may be a known bug affecting ad closing and credit. I see from forums that other players have reported similar troubles where ads become uncloseable and no credit is given after watching them fully1. Sometimes, this is resolved through developer patches.

If your app is current and the problem persists, I recommend contacting Little Farm Story support directly for account-specific help and bug reports at [email protected].

Let me know how these steps go or if you’ve already tried some of these — I’m here to help! Are you okay with trying this process?
