- 2
Update the Coinbase app
Outdated app versions can cause trading errors. Check the App Store or Google Play for the latest Coinbase update.
- 3
Try Coinbase Pro or Advanced Trade
If the main Coinbase app isn't working, try Coinbase Pro or Advanced Trade which run on separate infrastructure.
- 4
Clear app cache and restart
On mobile, clear the Coinbase app cache, force-close the app, and restart your device to resolve glitches.
- 5
Check blockchain network status
Some issues may be blockchain-specific (e.g., Ethereum network congestion). Check network status before blaming Coinbase.

Use a self-custody wallet
If you need to move crypto urgently, use a self-custody wallet like MetaMask or Ledger to bypass exchange issues.
Queue non-urgent transactions
If trades or transfers aren't time-sensitive, wait for Coinbase to recover rather than paying higher fees elsewhere.
Monitor recovery via status page
