# Troubleshoot the Grafana mobile app

Fix the problems most often reported with the Grafana mobile app.

## Push notifications aren’t arriving

First, confirm you’ve added push notifications to your personal notification rules. Refer to [Configure push notifications](/docs/grafana-cloud/platform/mobile-app/push-notifications) for setup steps and a **Send test notification** option that confirms delivery end to end.

If test notifications don’t arrive, check for these causes.

### Android permissions

Open **Settings** > **Push notifications** and look for a device permissions check that flags common delivery problems:

- **Battery optimization**: confirm battery optimization is turned off for the app.
- **DND permission**: allow Grafana to override Do Not Disturb.
- **Unused app restriction**: confirm your device isn’t restricting the app for being unused.
- **Auto Start**: on devices that support it, confirm Auto Start is turned on.

Tap any flagged item to open the relevant system settings screen. Exact menu names and available options vary by Android device manufacturer and OS version.

### Registration failures on Home

If the app can’t register your device for push notifications at all, for example because it couldn’t reach the internet during setup, a banner titled **You might not receive Push Notifications** appears on **Home**. Tap **Retry** to try again, or tap **Contact us** to send feedback if the problem continues.

## A stack shows Login expired

A connected stack’s session can expire over time. When it does, the stack shows **Login expired** in **Connected accounts**. Tap the stack to sign in again. Refer to [Connect and switch stacks](/docs/grafana-cloud/platform/mobile-app/settings/#connect-and-switch-stacks) for the ways to open **Connected accounts**.

## Data looks out of date when you’re offline

The app caches recently loaded alert groups, schedules, and incidents on your device, so you can still see the last loaded state after you lose your connection. If a request fails, for example because your phone loses signal, the screen shows a connection error message with a **Retry** option instead of clearing what you already loaded.

Push notifications and any actions you take, such as acknowledging or resolving an alert group, still require an internet connection to reach Grafana IRM.

## A section is missing from Browse

Start with **Settings** > **Products**, because turning a product off hides everything belonging to it. **Grafana IRM** covers alert groups, schedules, and incidents, and **Dashboards** covers the rest. **Browse** itself disappears when both are off. Refer to [Choose which products you see](/docs/grafana-cloud/platform/mobile-app/settings/#choose-which-products-you-see).

If the product is on and a section is still missing, what you see depends on the Grafana IRM permissions your organization has granted you. Check with your Grafana Cloud administrator if you expect access you don’t have.

## Dashboards don’t appear or don’t load

If there’s no **Dashboards** entry under **Browse** and no **Starred dashboards** section on **Home**, open **Settings** > **Products** and confirm **Dashboards** is turned on.

If **Dashboards** is there but a dashboard doesn’t load, the app shows a placeholder with a refresh icon and no message. Tap the icon to try again. If it keeps failing, the app can’t reach Grafana for dashboard content, so check your connection and try again later.

You don’t sign in separately for dashboards, and there’s nothing to configure. Refer to [Dashboards on mobile](/docs/grafana-cloud/platform/mobile-app/dashboards) for details.

## Next steps

- Refer to [Get started](/docs/grafana-cloud/platform/mobile-app/get-started) for a first-time setup checklist.
- Refer to [Settings and accounts](/docs/grafana-cloud/platform/mobile-app/settings) to manage connected stacks.
- Refer to [Configure push notifications](/docs/grafana-cloud/platform/mobile-app/push-notifications) to confirm delivery end to end.
