Fixes for ProtonVPN not working on Android mobile devices:
Troubleshooting apps on an Android device is a lot easier than you would think. There are some basic troubleshooting methods that work almost always. However, before getting into the fixes, you should check if the ProtonVPN servers are down. Search for “ProtonVPN server status” in your browser. Read through the recent user reviews.
You will easily understand if the ProtonVPN servers are down. If that is the case, wait for some time because troubleshooting at your end will not fix the problem. But if the servers are working just fine, here’s what you need to do.
Check your internet connection:
If your internet connection does not stand up to the expected performance, apps on your device will have trouble functioning well. Power cycle your router quickly by turning it off and keeping it turned off for about thirty seconds. Then turn it on, connect your Android device, and check if ProtonVPN is working.
Clear app cache:
Press and hold the app icon on your device and select “App Info”. Now tap on “Clear cache” to clear the cache files. Launch ProtonVPN and check if it provides your Android device with the necessary functions.
Restart your device:
Performing a quick restart on your Android device can make sure that the system isn’t glitched. After restarting your device, ProtonVPN will work perfectly with all the security measures in place.
Update app:
Open the Play Store and search for the ProtonVPN app. Select its app icon from the search result. Now check if there is an “Update” button under it. Download the update by tapping that button if you see it. After the update is installed, ProtonVPN will not have any trouble working on your Android device.
Reinstall app:
Uninstall ProtonVPN from your Android device. Perform a restart again. Now go to Play Store and install the app again, this should fix any problem with the app, given that it was caused due to a small error in the system.
