Okay, so the other day I wanted to chill and watch some shows on Paramount Plus on my Firestick. But guess what? It started acting up. It was super annoying, so I had to figure out what was going on.
Troubleshooting Time
First things first, I restarted the Paramount Plus app. I just exited out of it and opened it back up. Didn’t work. Still glitchy.
Next, I thought, “Maybe it’s the Firestick itself?” So, I rebooted the whole thing. You know, unplugged it, waited a few seconds, and plugged it back in. Nope, Paramount Plus was still being a pain.
Then I checked my internet connection. I have other streaming apps, and try them. Everything was fine, my Wi-Fi was strong. So, it wasn’t my internet.
Getting a Little More Serious
I figured maybe the Paramount Plus app needed an update.
I went to the app settings on my Firestick, found Paramount Plus. There’s no update.
At this point, I was getting a little frustrated. I decided to clear the cache and data for the Paramount Plus app. It’s like giving it a fresh start. this also didn’t do the trick.
The Nuclear Option (But Not Really)
Okay, last resort time. I uninstalled the Paramount Plus app completely. Then, I reinstalled it. It’s kind of like turning it off and on again, but on a bigger scale.
I went back to app settings on firestick, found the paramount plus app, chose uninstall, after completed, I chose install.
I logged back into my Paramount Plus account… and guess what? It finally worked! The app was running smoothly, no more issues. Success!
So, if you’re ever having trouble with Paramount Plus on your Firestick, try these steps. Hopefully, you won’t have to go all the way to uninstalling and reinstalling, but hey, sometimes that’s what it takes!
