Completely close <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/how-to-update-your-tidal-artist-image-and-biography\/\">TIDAL <\/a>on it to be able to resume <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/how-do-i-sell-a-song\/\">streaming <\/a>elsewhere. You can also deauthorize devices by logging into <a href=\"https:\/\/my.tidal.com\/login\">my.TIDAL.com<\/a>, heading to <strong>Offline Devices<\/strong> and hitting <strong>Remove Device<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To deauthorize a device using the TIDAL app go to <strong>My Collection<\/strong>. Tap the <strong>wheel<\/strong> icon, head to <strong>Authorized Devices<\/strong> to see the list, and hit <strong>Deauthorize Device<\/strong>. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re still getting an error message, try a good old-fashioned reboot. First check you\u2019re running the latest update of <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/how-to-unsubscribe-from-tidal\/\">TIDAL<\/a>, then force-close and restart the app. Next try restarting your device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Still getting an error message? Try <strong>clearing your cache<\/strong>, and check your internet connection \u2013 it\u2019s worth making sure other streaming sites are working fine as you may have a network or device hardware issue. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re on a mobile device, try streaming through data instead of WIFI. And change your password, too, just in case you\u2019ve been hacked. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When all else fails, <a href=\"https:\/\/support.tidal.com\/hc\/en-us\/requests\/new\">contact TIDAL support and explain your issue<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How to get your music on TIDAL for FREE\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mtS_beahC7s?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/routenote.com\">Get your music on TIDAL today!
