How do I force quit the Shifty app on iOS?
Close and reopen the Shifty app when it freezes, stops responding, or does not load correctly on Apple devices.
Overview
Force quitting the Shifty app on iOS closes the app completely so it can reopen with a fresh session. This can help when the app freezes, gets stuck loading, does not respond as expected, or needs to refresh after a soft app update.
Shifty may occasionally receive updates that do not require downloading a new version from the App Store. In some cases, closing and reopening the app helps the device load the newest updates.
