Log Out and Log Back In

It may seem overly simple, but sometimes simply logging out and logging back in is enough of a reset for the system to work properly again. Follow the steps below to log yourself out:

1. Press on the gear icon in the top left corner of your Client List screen.


2. Press on the "Log Out" button in the pop-up.


3. Log back in with your preferred log in method (PIN code, touch ID, face ID, etc.)


Force Close and ReOpen

If logging out and logging back in does not fix your problem, the next strategy is to force close and reopen the RxPhoto app. Follow the steps below.

1. Double click the iPad "Home" button to view all your open apps (swipe from bottom up on iPhone).



2. Swipe away RxPhoto with your finger.


3. Reopen RxPhoto.


4. Log back in with your preferred log in method (PIN code, touch ID, face ID, etc.)



Uninstall and Reinstall RxPhoto

If logging out and force closing the RxPhoto app do not solve your problem, you may try uninstalling and reinstalling the RxPhoto app. Sometimes RxPhoto is notified of a bug and must make small adjustments to eliminate the bug. In this case, an update will be sent out. If you do not have update notifications enabled, you could potentially miss one of these updates. Uninstalling and reinstalling RxPhoto from the app store would update your app to the most recent version with the most recent bug fixes.

Uninstall RxPhoto

1. Hold down the RxPhoto app icon until all the icons jiggle.
2. Press on the "x" on the top left corner of the RxPhoto icon to delete the app.

3. Press "Delete" to confirm the uninstall.



To Reinstall

1. Go to the Apple App Store.
2. Search for "RxPhoto."
3. Press the download icon next to the RxPhoto icon.
