Quick steps for import, sync, and playback issues inside Bytful.
Last updated: 4/7/2026 • 2 min read
Most Bytful issues are solved by checking the source link, restarting the app, or restoring your purchase if Pro is missing.
Recipe Will Not Import
- Make sure the source link still opens in Safari or the original app.
- Try copying the full URL again and pasting it into Bytful.
- If the source is a social post, check that the post is public and still available.
- For photos, retake the image with better lighting and a flatter angle.
Import Looks Empty Or Incomplete
Sometimes a post only includes part of the recipe in the caption.
- Scroll the original post for a longer caption or pinned comment.
- Try importing the website version instead of the social post.
- If it is still incomplete, use the text paste option so Bytful can parse the recipe directly.
Recipe Is Not Syncing
- Confirm you are signed in to the same Apple account on both devices.
- Make sure iCloud is available on the device.
- Force quit and reopen Bytful.
- If needed, restore purchases from the Account screen.
Cooking Mode Does Not Speak
- Confirm your iPhone is not muted.
- Turn up the media volume.
- Check that voice / speech access is allowed in iOS settings.
- Reopen the recipe and start Cooking Mode again.
Still Stuck
If the app still does not behave correctly:
- Close and reopen Bytful.
- Restart your iPhone.
- Send the exact recipe link or a screenshot to support.
