Part 1. How to Fix Tidal Not Working - Common Solutions

Tidal is not working in various ways? Don't worry, follow the below solutions one by one.

Fix 1. Check the Network Connection

Are you desperately trying to download Tidal music but the download bar isn't progressing? Or you want to listen to some new releases from your favorite artist, but Tidal subscription not working?

Sometimes, music streaming sites face network issues that cause app performance to slow down. If everything looks fine from this perspective, it's time to check your internet connection. Make sure your internet is running fast and without any interruptions.

Fix 2. Restart Your Device

If there is no problem with the network connection, please restart your device. This is the simplest yet sometimes most effective way to help you troubleshoot any application issue. When your phone has too many apps running in the background and not enough room to run, you may experience an issue with the Tidal app not working. If this is the case, restarting your phone should fix the problem.

Fix 3. Close and Relaunch Tidal

Sometimes closing and restarting the Tidal app will fix Tidal not working on Android/iPhone. If your Tidal app has a black screen, you can force-stop it.

For Android phones, go back to the home screen and tap and hold the Tidal icon. Then select 'App Info' > 'Force Stop'.

For iPhone, swipe from the bottom and find the Tidal preview. Then swipe up on the Tidal preview to force close it.

Fix 4. Check Tidal Status

Still doesn't work? Then check if there is a problem with the Tidal server. You can check it from Tidal's official Twitter account or from Downdetector. If everything is fine, then proceed to the solution below.

Fix 5. Update Tidal

Sometimes, when the App Store on your phone is upgraded, users will encounter the problem of Tidal HiFi not working. This could be due to the latest update on your phone. After an operating system upgrade, connections to App Store login data are no longer safe to use. And you need to go to the App Store and upgrade your Tidal to the latest version. This may pinpoint loading issues with streaming sites.

Fix 6. Uninstall and Reinstall Tidal

If you still can't play music on Tidal and the app is still crashing, simply uninstall and reinstall the app to fix the problem.
