Before troubleshooting your phone, make sure the issue isn’t on Truist’s end. Here’s how:
- Visit Downdetector and search for “Truist Bank”
- Check Truist’s official Twitter or website for maintenance updates
If the servers are down, you’ll need to wait it out. Otherwise, keep reading!
2. Restart Your Device
It sounds simple, but turning your phone off and on can clear minor glitches.
- Hold the power button > Tap Restart
- Wait 30 seconds, then reopen the Truist app
Didn’t work? Move to the next step.
3. Update the Truist App
Using an outdated app version can cause bugs and crashes.

- Scroll to Truist and tap Update
- On Android:
- Open Google Play Store
- Tap your profile > “Manage apps & device”

4. Clear Cache & App Data (Fixes Freezing & Crashes)
Over time, stored data can slow the app down or cause glitches.
- On Android:
- Go to Settings > Apps > Truist
- Tap Storage > Clear Cache > Clear Data
- Restart the app
- On iPhone:
- You’ll need to delete and reinstall the app to clear cache (see next step)
5. Delete & Reinstall the App
If clearing cache didn’t work, a fresh install might.
- Uninstall the Truist app
- Restart your phone
- Reinstall from the App Store/Play Store
This fixes corrupt files that could be causing the problem.
6. Check Your Internet Connection
A slow or unstable internet connection can cause Truist to lag or fail to load.
- Test Other Apps – If everything else loads fine, it’s NOT your internet.
- Switch Networks – Try switching between Wi-Fi and mobile data.
- Restart Your Router – If using Wi-Fi, unplug your router for 30 seconds and plug it back in.
7. Check for Device Compatibility Issues
If your phone is old or running outdated software, the Truist app may not work properly.
- For iPhones – Truist requires iOS 13 or later
- For Android – Needs Android 8.0 or newer
If your phone is outdated, try using Truist’s mobile website instead.
8. Reset Your Password (If You’re Locked Out)
If you’re stuck on the login screen:
- Tap “Forgot Password?” on the login page
- Follow the steps to reset it
- Try logging in again
