Common App Issues & How to Fix Them
Because the Maryam Ko Bataye platform may experience heavy user traffic, some users can encounter temporary server delays, registration problems, or loading issues. Below are practical solutions for some of the most common problems.
Issue 1: OTP Not Received or Delayed
Some users may experience delays when receiving the One-Time Password (OTP) required for registration or verification.
Fix 1: Make sure your SIM is active, inserted properly, and available in the phone you are using for registration.
Fix 2: If your number has been ported from one mobile network to another, SMS delivery can sometimes be delayed. If possible, try using a non-ported mobile number.
Fix 3: Try registering during less busy periods, such as later in the evening, when server traffic may be lower.
Issue 2: “CNIC Already Registered” Message
If the system says your CNIC is already registered but you do not remember creating an account, you can try recovering your existing account.
Fix: Open the login page and select “Forgot Password” or “Reset Password.” Enter the mobile number linked to your account, complete OTP verification, and create a new password.
Issue 3: App Crashes or Gets Stuck Loading
If the Maryam Ko Bataye app crashes, freezes, or remains stuck on the loading screen, try these steps:
Fix 1: Clear the app cache and data by going to Phone Settings > Apps > Maryam Ko Bataye > Storage > Clear Cache & Data.
Fix 2: Check whether a newer version of the app is available and install the latest update through the official app store.
