When the app will not open: update required, VPN, no connection

2 min read · Updated November 1, 2026

If your driver says the app will not open, ask him which screen he sees, then follow the matching step.

Step 1. Update required

If he sees Update required, he presses Update the app and installs the new version from the store.

Update required replaces the whole app: this copy is too old, and the button takes him to the store page.

Step 2. Turn off your VPN

If he sees Turn off your VPN, he presses Open settings, turns the VPN off, and goes back to the app. The driver app does not work over a VPN. If he says he has none, ask him to look in his phone settings for one switched on.

Step 3. No internet connection

If he sees No internet connection, he turns on mobile data or Wi-Fi, then presses Try again. Nothing is lost: his deliveries are back the moment he is online, and a proof photo waiting to upload sends itself.

Step 4. A new version is available

If he sees the bar A new version is available at the top, the app still works. He can tap it to update when it suits him.

A new version is available is only a suggestion: he can close it and the app works normally underneath.
