How to Fix “Download Failed” Errors in the App

Troubleshooting tips for failed downloads on Android and iOS devices.

Updated this week

If you’re getting a “Download Failed” message in the app, it’s usually due to device permissions or temporary file issues. Follow the steps below to fix the problem.

For Android Devices

Step 1: Check Device Storage

Make sure your device has enough free space to download content.

  1. Open your device’s Settings.

  2. Tap Storage

  3. Check how much free space is available.

Try to keep at least 5–10 GB of free space available for downloads.

Step 2: Clear the App Cache

  1. Go to Settings.

  2. Tap Apps and select Our App.

  3. Tap Storage.

  4. Tap Clear Cache.

You can also uninstall and reinstall the app, which clears the cache automatically.

Clearing the cache or reinstalling will remove all downloaded videos. You’ll need to re-enable storage permissions and sign in again.

For iOS Devices

iOS does not use traditional app cache the way Android does, but you can still take the following steps:

Step 1: Check Available Storage

  1. Open your device’s Settings.

  2. Tap General → iPhone Storage.

  3. Check that you have enough free space available for downloads.

Try to keep at least 5–10 GB of free space available for downloads.

Step 2: Reinstall the App

If you’re still having trouble:

  1. Go to Settings → General → iPhone Storage.

  2. Find Our App, then tap:

    • Delete App (removes the app and all data).

  3. Reinstall the app from the App Store.

After reinstalling, sign back in and try your download again.

Deleting the app will remove all previously downloaded videos.
