  • To restart your device, press and hold the Power button. When the menu appears, tap Restart or Power off and Restart.
Internet Connection

  • Find Free Fire and tap on it
  • Next, tap “Clear cache”
  • Tap “Force stop”
  • Go back to the Home screen and launch the app again.

Follow these steps:

  • Turn off your device
  • Press and hold the combination of keys (if you are using Nexus press and hold Volume Down, Volume Up, and the Power button)
  • Hold the buttons until the ‘Recovery’ menu shows up
  • Use Volume buttons to navigate to Recovery mode and select it using the Power button
  • In the Recovery mode menu, navigate to the Wipe cache partition and select it with the Power button
  • When this is completed, navigate to Reboot system now and select it using the Power button.
