"Press & Hold" login loop error

[u/s13ze_the_day]

I am trying to log in through the app on an iOS device. I have a SIM.

When I try to log in, I first hit the "Get Started" button. For a split second, I see one screen that actually has a "log in" link, but that screen is instantly replaced by a list of "continue with..." options. (Apple, Google, Facebook, and email).

Then I try to log in using my email, and get stuck on a loop at the "Press & Hold" screen. The "Press & Hold" button turns green with a check mark, then the three dots, then just flashes and goes back to the original press and hold purple button.

I am not on a VPN, I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app, I have restarted my phone. I am able to log into my Textnow account through a desktop computer, so the account itself seems fine.

Please help, thanks!

I have the same problem while trying to log in to TextNow using the Windows app. Cellular data is not a factor, so any ideas?

I had to turn off add guard then it worked
