3.1 It is recommended that you uninstall the app after backing up the app data, and download and install it again in the Play Store. If the app is already the latest version, enter the phone Settings > Software updates > click Check for updates. It is recommended to upgrade the phone system to the latest version in time.

3.2 Please try resetting the system settings. To operate this function, the phone's settings will be restored to factory settings, but the data will not be cleared.
