Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if my Uphold App is not working properly?

If you're experiencing Uphold App not Working issues, start with basic troubleshooting: force close and restart the app, check for updates in your app store, clear the app cache (in device settings), and ensure your operating system is updated. If problems persist, uninstall and reinstall the app, making sure to download only from official app stores. For login-specific issues, try using Uphold.com Login on a web browser as an alternative access method while resolving mobile issues.

Is the Uphold App safe for storing and trading large amounts?

Yes, the Uphold App employs the same enterprise-grade security measures as the web platform, including biometric authentication, device encryption, and secure connections. However, for large amounts, we recommend enabling all available security features: use strong biometric authentication, enable all security notifications, avoid using public WiFi for transactions, and consider using the web platform for very large trades where the larger screen may provide better visibility. Remember that your assets are protected by Uphold's® full reserve policy regardless of which platform you use.

Can I use the Uphold App on multiple devices simultaneously?

Yes, you can use the Uphold App on multiple devices, and your sessions will sync across them. However, for security reasons, you may encounter additional verification requests when logging in from new devices. Each device requires separate authentication, and you can manage authorized devices through your account settings. If you lose a device, you can remotely revoke its access through the web platform using Uphold.com Login or from another mobile device.

Why am I getting "Uphold error decline" messages in the app?

Uphold error decline messages in the app typically indicate transaction-specific issues rather than app malfunctions. Common causes include insufficient funds in your source account, daily trading limits being exceeded, security flags on the transaction amount, or temporary holds on recently deposited funds. Verify your available balance, check your account limits in the app settings, and ensure any new deposits have cleared. If the issue persists, try a smaller transaction amount or contact support through the in-app Uphold Help Center.

How do I reset my 2FA if I can't access the Uphold App?

If you need an Uphold 2fa reset and cannot access the app, you have several options: Use the web platform through Uphold.com Login and follow the 2FA recovery process there, contact the Uphold Help Center from any device with your account information, or use any backup codes you saved during initial 2FA setup. The recovery process requires identity verification and may take 24-48 hours. To avoid this situation in the future, always set up multiple 2FA methods and save backup codes securely.

What's the difference between the Uphold App and web platform?

The Uphold App and web platform offer the same core functionality but with different optimizations. The app provides mobile-specific features like biometric login, push notifications, camera integration for verification, and touch-optimized interfaces. The web platform through Uphold.com Login offers more comprehensive charting tools, easier multi-window management, and typically faster performance for complex portfolio analysis. Most users benefit from using both - the app for quick access and trading on the go, and the web platform for detailed analysis and management.
