What are some troubleshooting steps that I can take for World App issues?
We understand that encountering issues with World App can be frustrating. To help you resolve these problems quickly, we recommend you going through our troubleshooting steps. Each step is designed to address common issues and ensure that your app is running smoothly.
Let’s go through these steps together to understand what each one is trying to accomplish.
1. Disable Secondary SIM on Dual-SIM Devices
Purpose: If you’re using a dual-SIM device, it’s possible that the SIM not connected to the internet could be causing conflicts. By disabling the secondary SIM, you ensure that your device is using the correct connection for World App.
What to do: Go to your device’s settings and disable the SIM card you’re not using for data.
2. Double Check Your Internet Connection
Purpose: A stable internet connection is essential for World App to function properly. If your connection is weak, the app may not work as expected.
What to do: Ensure that you are connected to a reliable WiFi network or that your mobile data is working correctly. You can also try switching between WiFi and mobile data.
3. Verify App Source
Purpose: To ensure the security and integrity of World App, it’s important that it is downloaded from an official source, such as the App Store (iOS) or Play Store (Android).
What to do: Double-check that you downloaded the app from the official App Store or Play Store. If not, uninstall the app and reinstall it from the correct source. You can download the latest app version from here: https://world.org/?download
4. Check for Operating System Updates
Purpose: Outdated operating systems can cause compatibility issues with the app. Keeping your device’s OS up to date ensures that all features work correctly.
What to do: Go to your device’s settings, check for software updates, and install any available updates. You can verify this by authenticating in the Play Store or App Store.
5. Ensure Device Software Is Up to Date
Purpose: In addition to the operating system, your device’s software must be up to date to avoid potential conflicts or bugs.
What to do: Regularly check for and install updates for both your device’s operating system and any related software.
6. Force Quit the App
Purpose: Sometimes, apps can get stuck or unresponsive. Force quitting the app can refresh it and clear any temporary issues.
What to do: Swipe up on the app preview from the app switcher, or press the home button twice and swipe up on the app preview.
7. Switch Internet Connection
Purpose: Switching from mobile data to Wi-Fi (or vice versa) can help determine if the issue is related to your current network connection.
What to do: If you’re using mobile data, switch to Wi-Fi and see if the issue persists. If you’re on Wi-Fi, try using mobile data.
8. Deactivate Your VPN
Purpose: VPNs can sometimes interfere with app functionality, especially if the VPN’s server is experiencing issues or is in a restricted location.
What to do: Turn off your VPN and try using the app again. If the app works without the VPN, the issue may be related to the VPN service.
9. Restart Your Device
Purpose: Restarting your device can resolve many temporary glitches by refreshing the system and clearing any minor software issues.
What to do: Turn off your device, wait for about 5 minutes, and then turn it back on.
10. Wait and Try Again
Purpose: Sometimes, temporary server issues or network congestion can cause problems. Waiting a few hours before trying again can resolve these issues.
What to do: Close the app, wait for a few hours, and then reopen it to see if the issue is resolved.
11. Check if Your Android Device Is Rooted
For security reasons, World App does not support rooted Android devices. Rooting disables key protections and can expose your data and wallet to security threats.
If your device is rooted, you may see a warning and the app may not work correctly.
To fix this:
1. Unroot your device by following your device manufacturer's instructions; or
2. Use a different, non-rooted device to access World App.
3. Ensure all Android system updates are installed.
4. Reinstall World App from the Google Play Store.
5. Restart your device, then try again. If your device is no longer rooted but the issue persists, contact World App Support.
12. Check if Your iOS Device Is Jailbroken
World App requires a secure, unmodified iOS environment to function correctly. If your iPhone has been jailbroken, some built-in security protections are removed, which may put your data and wallet at risk.
If your device is detected as jailbroken, you will see a “Jailbreak detected” warning and the app may not work properly.
To fix this:
- Restore your device to its original iOS version using Apple’s official steps to remove the jailbreak; or
- Use an iPhone that has not been jailbroken to access World App.
- Make sure your device is updated to the latest version of iOS.
- Reinstall World App from the App Store.
- Restart your device and try again. If your device is no longer jailbroken but the issue continues, contact World App Support.

How do I set a custom Transaction Relayer in World App?
What is a transaction relayer?
A transaction relayer is a communications service that broadcasts the transaction you have already signed with your own keys to the blockchain. The relayer does not take custody of your tokens or private keys. World App allows you to configure a custom transaction relayer for your transactions.
By default, your World App transactions will utilize the World Transaction Proxy, which routes them to third-party ERC-4337 bundlers (such as Pimlico or Alchemy) that support World Chain.
While many users may choose not to change this setting, those seeking additional control over how their ERC-4337 smart account transactions are submitted to the blockchain may choose to do so.
What happens if I change it?
If you set a custom relayer:
- All blockchain transactions in World App will use your selected relayer
- This includes token transfers and Mini App transactions
If your relayer is unavailable, incorrectly configured, or does not support bundler sponsored transactions (also called boosted paymasters), transactions may fail.
Please note that depending on where you or your chosen relayer operate, relayer activity can be regulated as money services or crypto-asset services. World App itself does not provide transfer services and does not intermediate or hold customer funds. If you opt to use a custom relayer, you are responsible for ensuring that the relayer meets any licensing or registration requirements in your jurisdiction.
How do I change the transaction relayer in World App?
- Navigate to the World ID tab
- Tap on Settings (gear icon)
- Select Wallet
- Open Advanced Settings
- Select Transaction Relayer
- Paste your ERC-4337-compatible relayer URL
- Save your changes
Once saved, World App will use your selected relayer for future transactions.
If the URL is invalid or not supported, you will see an error message in the app.
You can switch back to the default setting at any time.
Understanding Network Fees
Network fees fluctuate based on network congestion and are outside World App’s control.
World App displays estimated network fees. Always review the quote on-screen before approving the transaction.
Network fees are paid directly to block validators. World App does not receive or retain any pay or part of network fees. If you switch to a custom relayer, World App cannot guarantee or display how much you may be charged per transaction.
When using a custom relayer, you are responsible for configuring your relayer’s network fee policies, including any maximum fee limits.
World App does not control third-party relayers and is not responsible for transaction costs incurred through custom relayer configurations.
Support Information
- If you are using the default relayer configuration (World Transaction Proxy), World App Support can help investigate issues within the app experience.
- If you are using a custom relayer, issues related to transaction submission, delays, or failures may need to be resolved with the relayer provider you selected.
World App Support cannot troubleshoot or manage third-party relayer infrastructure.
If you’re experiencing transaction failures and are unsure whether your relayer is the cause, you can switch back to the default relayer and try again.

Why can't you recover my account or change passwords on my behalf?
Understanding Data Storage Rules and Account Recovery Limitations
Your security and privacy are our top priorities. To maintain the highest level of security, we have implemented strict data storage rules that ensure your personal information and account details remain under your control.
Here's why we cannot assist you with recovering accounts or changing passwords on your behalf:
1. Non-Custodial Account Structure
World App operates as a non-custodial service, which means that we do not have access to your private keys, passkeys, passwords, or any other sensitive information associated with your account. This ensures that only you have control over your account, but it also means that if you lose your passwords, passkeys or private keys, we cannot recover them for you.
Key Points:
- Your Keys, Your Control: Since we don’t store your private keys, passkeys, or passwords, you are the only one who can manage access to your account.
- No Backdoor Access: Our system is designed without any backdoor or administrative access to user accounts, making it impossible for us to intervene directly.
2. User Responsibility
Because of our non-custodial model, it’s essential that you take responsibility for securing your own account information. We strongly recommend enabling all available security features to help protect your account.
3. What You Can Do
If you find yourself locked out of your account, here’s what you can do:
- Use a Saved Login Method: If you have set up a login method in your account settings, you can recover your account by following the instructions in this article: How do I restore access to my account?
- Verification Through Orb (Not Available Yet): Our team is working on implementing Orb verification as an additional method for account recovery in the future.
4. How We Help
While we cannot recover your account for you, we are here to guide you through the steps you can take to protect your account and troubleshoot issues:
- Help Center: Visit other articles in our Help Center for detailed information on account security and recovery options.
- Support Team: Contact our support team for guidance on how to secure your account and prevent future issues.
By empowering you with full control over your account, we help ensure that your data remains secure. Remember to use all available security features and keep your account information safe.
