Occasionally, there are issues with Text Request loading in different web browsers or on the mobile application. These problems can often be fixed by updating the browser or mobile device’s operating system.

Text Request is still usable on the minimum browser versions, but you may encounter issues when using an outdated browser. With constantly evolving technology, security, and compatibility requirements, we are unable to support all historical versions of browsers and operating systems.
We understand that updating can sometimes be challenging, but making sure your browser and operating system are on their latest version is the best way to ensure a smooth, secure experience.
Mobile Operating Systems
If the mobile app displays a blank screen or is experiencing other issues when loading, you may need to update your browser version. In rare cases, you may also need to update your operating system to apply the latest browser version. Once your browser and operating system are up to date, make sure you also have the latest version of the Text Request mobile app.
