Why does the Fing app keeps freezing up every time I try to edit devices names?

Every time I want to edit the name of a device the app freezes up and I can’t do anything I don’t know if this has anything to do because I’m using an iPhone Pro 11 or it’s just a stupid thing the app is doing just to lock me out. I have a few devices in the device list that I need to add names to anything shows up is generic.It would be nice if I could change it to the name of the device not just freaking generic but the app freezes up when I try to edit.

    Hi @iggy67
    Can you confirm if you are using Fingbox and if you have enabled location permissions for the Fing app? Also, Can you also share the crash report logs so I can investigate?

    I do not have a Fingbox. Locaion is set to "While Using the App" on my iPhone 11 pro. I don't now understand how or know how to find or navagate in the iPhone to find the log files. Someone has to do that for me becuse I have ADHD that perents me in doing stuff like that.

    Your iPhone might have been upgraded to ios14 as well. Can you please follow this link and see if anything changes: https://www.fing.com/news/private-mac-address-on-ios-14

    This app is useless. There is no way to do anything when it keeps freeing up. Its just getting worse freeing up on every tap you make.
    Uninstalling this and closing this ticket.
