-
Restart your phone: Sometimes, a simple reboot can resolve connection issues after uninstalling a VPN.
-
Reset network settings: This will reset Wi-Fi, mobile data, and Bluetooth settings on your phone.
On Android: Go to Settings > System > Reset options > Reset Wi-Fi, mobile & Bluetooth.
On iPhone: Go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
-
Check APN settings: Sometimes, VPNs can alter your Access Point Name (APN) settings. You can reset or configure these in your mobile network settings.
-
Ensure background VPN apps aren’t running: Even after uninstalling, some VPN-related background services may still run. Check the apps running in the background and force stop any leftover VPN services.
-
Clear the VPN app cache and data before uninstalling (if you plan to reinstall): Go to Settings > Apps > ExpressVPN (or the VPN app you’re using) > Storage > Clear cache and Clear data.
-
Contact your mobile provider: If none of the above steps work, it’s possible your mobile provider has encountered an issue with your connection, and it might be worth contacting them.
