How to fix Socket not working
Socket 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 socket.net over your own connection, right now. Nothing is sent to us or stored.
Reload and restart
Reload the page (Ctrl+F5, or Cmd+Shift+R on a Mac), or fully close the app and open it again.
Try another connection
Switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data. If it works on one and not the other, the problem is your network, not Socket.
Update the app
Install the latest version from the App Store or Google Play. Old versions can stop connecting after a server-side change.
While Socket is down: what to use instead
- Browser A browser tab can get you in when the app will not load or keeps closing.
- Mobile data Switch to cellular data if your Wi-Fi is the weak link, because a local network fault can look like a service outage.
- Second device A second device helps you rule out a bad install or a stale session on your usual phone.
- Saved bookmark Open the site from a saved bookmark instead of an app link that fails to launch.

How we track Socket
The status on this page comes from user-submitted problem reports for Socket, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Each window is compared with the normal level for Socket, 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. Socket 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.
