3

Review account status

If you see a message that your account is locked or suspended, check your email for a notice from Pals Club and follow the appeal process.
4

Clear session data

Free up resources

Test on another network

Switch between Wi-Fi and cellular data to determine whether the slowdown is network-related.

Toggle between Wi-Fi and mobile data to identify whether the issue is tied to a specific network.
