Closing the Hotspot Shield app completely is recommended when you're experiencing issues such as frequent disconnections, sign-in problems, app crashes, or if you simply need to restart the app from scratch. Fully closing the app ensures it stops running in the background, which can help resolve minor glitches before starting any troubleshooting steps.
How to Close the App:
- Swipe up from the bottom of your screen, hold, then release.
- Swipe up on the Hotspot Shield app to close it completely.
Note: These steps may vary depending on your device model and operating system version. For more detailed instructions, please visit Google Support.
By closing the app instead of just exiting or minimizing it, you ensure that it stops running entirely, which can help improve performance and stability.
