To use the CallHippo Android app without interruption, make sure the following requirements are met before troubleshooting any issue:
Do not use a VPN – VPNs can interfere with real-time calling features.
Disable battery optimization for CallHippo – This allows the app to run in the background and stay connected.
Keep the CallHippo app updated – Use the latest version from the Play Store.
Ensure your Android OS is up to date – Outdated systems may cause compatibility issues.
If you're still facing issues, follow the detailed steps below based on the problem you're experiencing.
