Troubleshooting Steps Before You Assume DoorDash Is Down
- 1
Force close and restart the app
Kill the DoorDash app completely and relaunch it. Sometimes individual sessions get stuck while the platform is functional.
- 2
Check your internet connection
Switch between WiFi and mobile data to rule out local network issues affecting the DoorDash app or website.
- 3
Clear app cache and data
On iOS: reinstall the app. On Android: clear cache in Settings > Apps > DoorDash > Storage.
- 4
Try the website instead of the app
If the mobile app is down, doordash.com may still work for placing orders through a web browser.

Check for app updates
Make sure you're running the latest version of the DoorDash app from the App Store or Google Play.
