Android: Fix "App data is missing" or "App data is # days old"

Modified on Tue, 21 Apr, 2020 at 10:26 AM

Powr of You app requires permissions in order to understand your mobile usage behaviour. If the required permissions are missing you will see the following errors shown in your Test Connection results:

  1. App data is missing
  2. App data is # days old


App data is used to provide you insights about your own app usage behaviour, top apps you spend time on, apps you don't use along with rewards. Here's how you can fix these messages:


GRANT APP USAGE PERMISSION

Option 1: Provide permission via device Settings

These steps apply for users who want to adjust the settings on the Android device directly

  1. Go to Settings icon on your Android device
  2. Select the Security menu
  3. Scroll to the bottom and select the Apps with usage access option
  4. Find the Powr of You app on the list. It'll currently show the permission status as Off
  5. Select the Powr of You app option
  6. Turn the permission ON on the top right Permit usage access option


That's it! Your app usage permission should now be turned on. To confirm it's connected correctly:

  1. Open the Powr of You app on your Android phone
  2. Select the top left menu icon > Test Connection > select the CLICK HERE TO TEST button
  3. The "App data is missing" or "App data is # days old" message should no longer be shown
