## **iPhone (In Order) Step-by-Step Fixes.

Work through these in order. Install Coinbase and wait till it is working.

### **Step 1: Restart your iPhone**

### **Step 2: Change Wi-Fi to Cellular data and vice versa.

Try:

Disability Wi-Fi and cellular, or
* Disable cell and use Wi-Fi.

Coinbase, in particular, suggests the change of networks as a remedy measure. )

Disabling VPN (and other privacy relays) can be done temporarily, in step 3.

Check iPhone storage
: Check iPhone memory

When there is little space on your storage, applications may crash, be unable to load or update properly. Quick test:

* **Settings General iPhone Storage.
5.0 GB Free space: Free up some GB in case you are nearly full.

### **Step 5: Clear Coinbase cache (when there is the option)

On mobile, Coinbase offers a mechanism of clearing the cache:

* Settings Coinbase Coinbase Coinbase Menu (where possible) SMU Tools Clear cache next launch Coinbase reopened. 

Don’t see that option? Alright, that is alright - go and install under.

1. Delete or offload and reinstall Coinbase.

Apple suggests that the solution to an app halting is to delete and re-download the app (you will lose any information saved in the app). 
Coinbase also recommends the removal and installation of the app when there is no option to clear the cache.

Two good options:

* Offload App (stores documents/data on phone in most situations):
  Settings -General-iPhone storage-Coinbase-Offload app-Reinstall.
* **Delete App** (cleanest reset):
  Uninstall Coinbase to Restart iPhone to Add App Store to sign in again.

### Step 7: Updating iOS to the most recent patch.

* **General Settings Software Update.

It is also advised that you update your device OS at Coinbase.

**Account Checks (You Cannot Afford to Miss These) Security Checks**

The following are safe measures that will tend to resolve the problem of login not finishing:

* **Confirm Date & Time: Settings General Date and Time Set Automatically.
* **Face ID / Passcode** Verify that Face ID is on and your password is functional (Coinbase sign-in flows may use secure device verifications).
* **Permissions: Local network, cellular data, Coinbase requests notifications, and Coinbase can be allowed to do so, as long as there is a necessity.

Also: **do not use fast repeated logins. Excessive efforts may lead to the creation of temporary security bans on a large number of platforms (not necessarily, but it is a good rule of thumb: do not make it worse).

**Nevertheless, in certain cases, it is necessary to reach out to Coinbase Support.**

Contact support if:

Status Coinbase displays no incident, yet the application fails upon reinstallation.
* Web based: can log in, not iPhone.
* You believe you are locked/restricted/stuck in verification.

Before contacting, gather:

* iPhone model + iOS version

## **FAQs**

### **1) Why is Coinbase stuck on the loading screen after my iOS update?**

Most often it’s an app/iOS mismatch, a cache conflict, or a network route issue. Start by updating Coinbase and switching Wi-Fi/cellular.

### **2) How do I know if Coinbase is down or it’s just my phone?**

Check the official Coinbase Status page. If there’s an incident, it’s not your phone.

### **3) Will deleting Coinbase delete my crypto?**

Your crypto isn’t stored “inside” the app like photos. It’s tied to your Coinbase account. But you must be able to sign in again, so ensure you know your login method and have access to your email/2FA.

### **4) What’s the safest fix if Coinbase keeps crashing?**

Update the app, restart the iPhone, then reinstall Coinbase if needed. Apple and Coinbase both support reinstalling as a fix when other steps fail.

### **5) Coinbase says “connection error” after iOS update—what should I do?**

Switch networks (Wi-Fi ↔ cellular), disable VPN temporarily, and try again. Coinbase recommends testing different networks. 

### **6) I updated Coinbase, but it still won’t open—what next?**

Clear cache if available, then reinstall the app. If it still fails and Coinbase Status is normal, contact support with your device/app details.

## **Conclusion**

When iOS updates shake things up, Coinbase can act glitchy—but the fix is usually straightforward. Start by checking for a Coinbase outage, update the app, force close it, and test your network. If that doesn’t work, clear cache (if available) and reinstall. In most cases, that’s enough to get you back in.
