Destiny 2 Companion App Down? How To Fix Potential Sign-In Problems

If you're experiencing trouble signing in to the Destiny 2 Companion app, this might be due to various reasons. Here are a few things you should try out if you're having trouble connecting to the Destiny 2 Companion app:

  • Check Bungie's official support site for information about current technical issues.
  • Check Bungie's Twitter Account for possible hints on a server downtime.
  • If you're in touch with other players on Discord or Teamspeak, ask them whether they have the same problem. If they don't, you can be pretty sure that it's a local problem and not one on Bungie's end.
  • Try to sign in through a different Wi-Fi or with your mobile internet.
  • Clear the cache of the Destiny 2 Companion app in the app settings of your smartphone.
  • Restart your smartphone.
  • Reinstall the Destiny 2 Companion app.
  • Clear the app data of the Destiny 2 Companion app in the app settings of your smartphone (this should be the very last thing to try, since you will have to manually sign in again afterward, and you might have to re-set your personalized app settings as well).
