    Check Your Internet Connection

    Wendy’s relies on your phone’s internet connection to fetch your account information and other items. The app has trouble doing that if your phone has an inactive internet connection.

    Check and ensure your phone’s internet is working. You can do that by opening a web browser on your phone and accessing a site. Your site won’t load if your phone has internet issues.

    In that case, try to resolve your connection problems by rebooting your router, disconnecting and reconnecting to your network, and more.

    Use an Alternate Internet Connection

    Sometimes, your Wendy’s app doesn’t work even on an active internet connection. That’s because your connection is either unstable or poor. This creates issues for Wendy’s to retrieve menus and other items from the company’s servers.

    In this case, switch your internet connection and see if that resolves your issue. You can switch to a Wi-Fi connection if you’re on mobile data or use cellular data if you’re currently on a wireless network.

    Check if Wendy’s Servers Are Down

    Wendy’s fetches your account data and other information from its company’s servers. You’ll have trouble using the app if those servers face an outage. It’s rare for servers to go down, but that does happen.

    You can head to a site like Is It Down Right Now? to check if Wendy’s servers are down. The site will tell you if users have reported issues using the app on their phones.
