Troubleshooting
Subscription Purchased via the App Store or Play Store
On the Ground News App, navigate to Profile > Manage Account > Restore My Subscription.
Note: If you tap "Restore My Subscription" in the mobile app and it does not restore, but only continuously loads, it is an indication that you may have purchased your subscription via the Ground News Website. If this is the case, please follow the steps below.
If "Restore My Subscription" does not work, but you have subscribed via the App Store or Play Store, please let our team know at feedback@ground.news .
Subscription Purchased via the Ground News Website
To recognize your subscription, please sign in with the same account credentials that you initially subscribed with. The same credentials should be used to access your subscription across all platforms, including the mobile apps and website.

How to Sign Out of the Wrong Account
If you are on Ground Web, kindly click the "My Account" button located on the top-right side of your screen. From there, scroll down to the "Enabled Login Methods" and you'll find the "Sign Out" button there.
If you are on our mobile app, click the "Profile" tab on the bottom-right of your screen, then click the "Setting icon" which looks like a cogwheel, and scroll down to the bottom where you should see the "Sign Out" option.
Once you are signed out, you can simply sign back in with your original account. If you'd prefer to access your subscription using a new or different account, please contact our team at subscriptions@ground.news to arrange an update.
