Welcome to HP Support Community, @Kryin
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
This issue may occur due to several reasons, such as VPN interference or cache buildup. Here’s a step-by-step guide to fix the problem:
1 Disable VPN
Turn off any active VPN on your device as it can interfere with the HP Smart app.
2 Clear Cache and Storage
Android Go to Settings Apps HP Smart Storage Clear Cache and Clear Storage.
iOS Reinstall the app since cache cannot be cleared directly.
3 Check App Permissions
Android Go to Settings Apps HP Smart Permissions and allow all required permissions.
iOS Go to Settings HP Smart and enable permissions.
4 Reinstall the App
Uninstall the HP Smart app.
Download and install it again from Play Store or App Store.
5 Update Device Software
Ensure your phone is updated to the latest OS version.
6 Check Network Connection
Connect to a stable WiFi or mobile network.
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.
