so when I try to open the app I only get a white screen. can anyone help with that?
I had Canvas on my old phone and it worked just fine. I got a brand new phone about a week ago, and now I cannot log in at all. I know the password is correct because I can still log in on my laptop. I'm sure it's related to the fact that my phone is new. I tried reach out to University IT and they just said, "we don't…
I have links that work correctly on a computer, but those same links in the Canvas app on my iPhone point to files in a different course of mine. Any ideas why that might be?

She can attach photos and files on her laptop, so I do not think…
The last couple of months, the Canvas mobile app (I’m on iPad specifically) has been closing the files I’m viewing if I open another app or switch over to answer a text message. It didn’t used to do this. Previously, I was able to go from reviewing files to searching something on the internet to then go right back to the…
personally dont know if everyone agrees but when you want to know what events are occuring at your school, you need to go to facebook or a social media page, but not everyone has social media, like me, so there should be a page that shows when tryouts,game, and events like dances or skate nights are happening, cause as of…
