Troubleshooting

Stuck? Try these fixes first.

I didn't get my invite email

  • Check your spam or junk folder.
  • Confirm with your school that they used the right email.
  • Ask them to resend the invite from the Staff or Students screen.

My invite link doesn't work / says expired

Ask your school to resend a fresh invite. Old links stop working for security.

I can't sign in

  • Check that you're using the right email.
  • Make sure Caps Lock is off when typing your password.
  • Try Forgot Password? to reset it.
  • If you usually sign in with Google, tap Continue with Google instead of typing a password.

I forgot which email I used

Try the email you most commonly use, then try any work or family email. If you still can't find it, contact your school — they can look it up.

I forgot my password

Tap Forgot Password? on the sign-in screen and follow the steps. See the password reset guide.

My password reset code didn't arrive

  • Wait a minute and check spam.
  • Tap Resend Code (you may need to wait 60 seconds).
  • Make sure you typed the right email.

I can't see my school

  • Make sure you signed in with the same email your school used.
  • If you belong to more than one school, tap the school name at the top of Home to switch.
  • If your school is still missing, contact your school office.

I can't see my child

  • The school must link your account to your child.
  • The child must be enrolled in the active school year.
  • Contact your school office to confirm.

Notifications aren't arriving

  • Open Settings → Notifications in the app and turn on the type you want.
  • Open your phone's Settings app, find Inscriti, and turn on Notifications.
  • Try signing out and back in.
  • Restart your phone if nothing else works.

The QR scanner won't read the code

  • Clean the camera lens.
  • Make sure there's enough light.
  • Hold the camera 6–10 inches from the code.
  • Make sure Inscriti has permission to use your camera (in your phone's Settings).

A tab is missing (Calendar / Early Sign-Out / Messages)

These features are turned on per school. Ask your school admin to enable them.

My post or message won't send

  • Check your internet connection.
  • Try a smaller attachment — very large files may fail.
  • Close the app and reopen it.
  • If you keep seeing an error, contact support.

My photo upload is stuck or failing

  • Check your internet.
  • Try a different photo to see if the issue is just one file.
  • Reduce the size of very large photos if possible.

My document upload failed

  • Confirm the file is one of these: PDF, Word, Excel.
  • Try again. If it still fails, the file may be too large.

I'm logged into the wrong account

  1. Tap Settings → Sign Out.
  2. Sign in with the correct email.

The app is slow

  • Pull down on any screen to refresh.
  • Close the app and reopen it.
  • Make sure you're on a strong internet connection.
  • Update the app from the App Store or Google Play.

The app crashed when I opened it

  • Update to the latest version.
  • Restart your phone.
  • If it keeps happening, reinstall the app and sign back in.

I changed schools and need to start over

Contact your old school to remove you and your new school to invite you. Your account itself stays the same.

I see "You don't have access to this school"

You're either signed in with the wrong email, or your school hasn't finished setting up your account. Contact your school office.

I see content that shouldn't be on Inscriti

Tap the flag icon on the post or comment and choose a reason to report. A school admin will review it.
