- Give it time. Large inboxes can take a few hours on first sync. You don’t need to keep your browser open.
- Check the account is linked. Open Settings → Accounts and confirm it shows as connected. If not, relink it from there.
- For X and LinkedIn, check the extension. If Inboxapp says the extension is missing or out of date, see Extension not detected.
- On X, enter your XChat passcode if Inboxapp asks for it — see XChat and your passcode.
- On WhatsApp, open the app on your phone and keep it unlocked. Your phone sends your history to Inboxapp. Groups, broadcasts, and newsletters don’t sync.
- Reload Inboxapp.
Troubleshooting
Messages not syncing
What to check when X, LinkedIn, or WhatsApp messages don’t appear in Inboxapp: account status, sync progress, XChat passcode, and reloading.
Inboxapp syncs your DMs in the background. If messages aren’t showing up, work through these checks.
