Server not available is an error you may see pop up on your Showbox along with several other errors if the app cannot connect with the server. Since this is such a popular app, it has a high demand, which may sometimes cause the error. Simple enough, right? 

Unfortunately, this may not be the case sometimes. There may be more complicated issues that are causing the error. Fortunately, there are several ways you can work around the error and fix it to get your app back up and running in no time.

Method 2: update the app seems to be the most effective method, so we suggest you try that one first. 

What Is The Showbox Server Error?

Showbox is one of the biggest and most popular streaming apps on the internet. It has smooth UI and simple navigation. Unfortunately, since it’s so large, it may also come with bugs and errors. 

One of the main errors that are complained about is the server not available message you may come across. This error simply means you cannot access the app because the server is down or unavailable. 

What Causes the Showbox Server Error?

The only real cause for the “server not available” error is due to the fact that the server is down or the app is being restricted in your county. If this is the case, there are many ways to work around that. 

How to Fix the Showbox Server Error

Some say there is no fix for the Showbox server error, however, we do have a couple of methods we can try before you completely give up. Here are a few simple methods to start with: 

Clear data & cache

Uninstall & reinstall the app

Method 1: Clear Data & Cache

One method that has worked for multiple users in the past is to clear the data & cache for Showbox. Clearing the data and cache will get rid of any unwanted or unused data that is stored for each app. Having too much-stored data in an app can make your device run sluggishly or make the app crash. There are easy ways to clear them on each device:

  Updating the app is another simple method that has worked for users. Sometimes the developers will send an update to fix certain bugs and improve performance. If there’s an update available, the app will let you know in settings. If it doesn’t notify you or you want your device to update automatically, here’s how to force the update: 

  Android

  Method 3: Try a VPN Service

  On each device you have Showbox on, you could try using a VPN service. A VPN service creates a proxy server where the link or server may not be unauthorized or restricted.

  Certain countries will restrict streaming services as well as internet service providers. A popular VPN service is Nord Vpn. They usually aren’t free, but the price may be worth it if your country doesn’t allow free streaming on apps such as Showbox.

  Android
