What Canvas Teacher app options can I manage from my iOS device settings?
From your iOS device settings, you can manage access settings, allow cross-website tracking, open external tools in Safari, and reset your cache.
Enabling the option to allow cross-website tracking helps users avoid errors with files, images, and alerts in the Student app. If you are experiencing difficulties downloading files and viewing images in the app, you may want to enable this option.
Enabling the option to open external tools in Safari launches the Safari browser app for external tools. If this option is not enabled, external tools open in web view inside the Canvas Teacher app. If you are experiencing difficulties with viewing external tools, you may want to enable this option.
Resetting your cache clears all app-specific information from your device, including login details, some annotated documents, and app settings. If you experience errors when logging in to the app, you may want to use a cache reset. Because a cache reset removes app information from your device, you may want to try resetting your password or uninstalling the app first.
After enabling the Reset Cache on Next Launch option, you must force close and relaunch the Canvas Teacher app for your cache to reset.
