Common questions

I cannot sign in to Public. What should I do?
Check your email and password, use Google sign-in if you registered with Google, confirm your email via the verification link, or reset your password at public.kim/forgot.
Push notifications are not working. How do I fix them?
On Android, enable notifications for Public in system settings and keep the app updated. On iOS, allow Notifications in Settings and keep the app updated. On web, allow browser notifications when prompted. See the push notification troubleshooting guides.
I paid for a plan but it did not apply. What now?
Wait a few minutes, restart the app, and check Payment issues in Troubleshooting. Contact support with your receipt if the plan still does not appear.
