Kindle app is a great way to access your favorite books on-the-go, but it can be a frustrating experience when it’s not working. Amazon servers are generally reliable, but we put together a list of ways to fix it for those unfortunate occurrences when Kindle app isn’t working on iPhone 14. Follow the troubleshooting guide below to fix any Kindle problems you might be experiencing on your iPhone 14.
Before we dive into the fixes, let’s take a moment to understand what may have caused the Kindle app to stop working on your iPhone 14. There are several reasons why this might happen, including a poor internet connection, an outdated version of the Kindle app, or a glitch in the app’s software. Fortunately, these issues can be easily resolved with a little bit of troubleshooting.
How to fix Kindle App not working on iPhone 14
Solution 1: Check Your Internet Connection
The first thing you should do when Kindle app is not working on your iPhone 14 is to check your internet connection. Without a stable internet connection, the app won’t be able to download or sync your books.
A quick way to verify this is to test another app that uses the internet, or open the browser and launch a website like geekschalk.com. If nothing else is working, the problem is likely not Kindle, but your data.
If you’re using Wi-Fi, head to Settings > Wi-Fi on your iPhone. Make sure the switch next to Wi-Fi is on and a blue checkmark appears next to the name of your Wi-Fi network. Try toggling the switch off and back on if Wi-Fi doesn’t seem to be working.
If you’re using a cellular connection, try switching to Wi-Fi. Likewise, move to data if you’re using Wi-Fi. Try moving closer to the router, or you can try restarting it. Also, make sure you turn off the VPN if you happen to be using one.
If you’re using cellular data, you might want to see if your data connection is on:
- Open the Settings app.
- Tap Cellular.
- . Make sure the switch next to Cellular Data is on at the top of the screen. Try toggling the switch off and back on again if you don’t think Cellular Data is working.
Solution 2: Close and re-open Kindle
If Internet has no issues, then the problem might emerge from a software discrepancy. Try closing the Kindle app and re-opening it again. You could also try logging out and logging back in. Additionally, it’s worth trying to completely uninstall the app and install it fresh off the App Store. One of these actions might put all the gears back in place and get everything in order again.
