What to check first

Follow these steps in order. Exact menus and available features can differ by operating system, browser version, region, and subscription.

  1. Open the browser or device’s built-in update controls.
  2. Check whether a current update is available for your operating system or app store.
  3. Install the update and restart the app if prompted.
  4. If an update fails, record the exact message and check device storage and compatibility.

How to identify the cause

Check whether the issue happens only on one device, only on one network, or across multiple devices. This helps distinguish a local browser problem from an account, feature, or service problem. Avoid resetting or deleting data until you know whether it is backed up.

What to record if the issue continues

Write down the device model, operating system, DuckDuckGo version, and exact error wording. Keep sensitive information private.

Safety: DuckDuckGo features and contact options vary. Never give passwords, email forwarding credentials, sync recovery codes, or payment details to an independent troubleshooting service.
