Troubleshooting

How to fix Flipboard not working

Flipboard is up on our end, so if it won't work for you, the problem is most likely on your side. Work through these in order:

Your browser tries to reach flipboard.com over your own connection, right now. Nothing is sent to us or stored.

Refresh Flipboard's Home feed
Open the Home tab and pull down from the top of the feed until the refresh spinner appears. Close any story that shows a blank page and open it again from its magazine.
Force quit Flipboard
On iPhone, swipe up from the bottom, pause, then swipe the app off the app switcher. On Android, open Recents and swipe it away, then launch it again from the home screen.
Update Flipboard
Open the App Store, tap your profile picture, scroll to the app, and tap Update; in Google Play, search for it and tap Update. Open it after the install finishes.
Reinstall Flipboard
Delete the app from your home screen, then download it again from the App Store or Google Play. Open it and sign in with the same account so your magazines load.

While it is down

While Flipboard is down: what to use instead

Google News Use Google News when you want a broad view of headlines from many outlets and the app will not open.
Apple News Apple News fits if you are on an iPhone, iPad or Mac and want a curated feed from publishers.
Feedly Feedly works when you follow specific sites by RSS and want their new stories in one list.
Publisher sites A publisher's own site or app helps when you only need one magazine or news source and the app is not loading.

Same time

Problems at the same time as Flipboard

Since 9 November, Flipboard's only spike in problem reports overlapped a spike at another service.

When several services get problem reports at once, something they share, such as a cloud host or a network, can be the real cause. Matching times alone do not prove it.

During the latest spike

Flipboard: Mon 9 Nov, 23:05 to 23:50

68 more services. Red dot: outage. Amber dot: elevated reports.

A spike is a sharp rise in problem reports from users, as the live pages showed it. Times are Central European time.

About

What happens when Flipboard goes down

Flipboard is a news app and website that gathers stories into magazines you follow by topic or publisher, and many US readers use it to catch up on headlines and save articles for later. When the service has trouble, stories stop loading and magazine covers go stale, while opening an article or refreshing your own magazine can leave you with a blank screen or an error.

The feed breaks first. Pull to refresh spins without new stories, and the main feed will not update even after you reopen the app. Tapping a magazine can load a cover and then fail on the next page, while saved stories or profile tabs may show placeholders or a generic error instead of your content; the web version can still serve cached pages, so partial outages look like one section working and another failing, and trouble can hit one region or one platform before it spreads. If sign-in or sync fails, the app may log you out or show empty magazines on a second device, which points to the service.

Questions

Flipboard FAQ

Is Flipboard down right now?

The status at the top of this page is based on whether public user reports for Flipboard are above their usual level over the last 24 hours. It does not come from our own monitoring. Check your own connection by trying to load Flipboard in a different browser or on your phone using data instead of Wi-Fi. If the problem is only on your side, you might see a blank newsfeed or get stuck on a loading loop.

Why does my Flipboard app keep saying 'Couldn't load your magazines'?

This usually means the app can't connect to Flipboard's servers. A widespread outage could be the cause. You can also try force quitting and reopening the app. Clearing the app's cache on Android sometimes fixes temporary glitches.

Is there a Flipboard status page I can check?

Flipboard does not maintain a public-facing status page that we are aware of. The best public indicator of a problem is often a spike in reports on sites like this one or user complaints on social networks such as X or Reddit.

My Flipboard notifications stopped working on my iPad.

Push notifications rely on a stable connection between your device, Apple's servers, and Flipboard. A service issue can break that chain. First, check your device's notification settings for the app. If those are correct, the problem is likely on Flipboard's end and should resolve when they do.

Can an account issue make Flipboard seem down for just me?

Yes. If you are logged out or your session expired, you might see a generic error. Try signing out and back in on the website or app. A corrupted local data file can also cause problems that feel like an outage but are isolated to your device.

How we track Flipboard

The status on this page comes from user-submitted problem reports for Flipboard, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Each window is compared with the normal level for Flipboard, so a few complaints on a quiet day don't trigger anything, but a sudden jump well above normal does.

When reports climb well above normal, the status here changes to partial outage or major outage and the chart moves with it. Flipboard doesn't publish a public status page that we know of, so user reports are often the quickest sign that something is wrong on their side.
