Article summary

Overview

Encountering issues while creating content with Whatfix can be frustrating. To streamline the issue resolution process and provide faster assistance, Whatfix Mobile enables you to share technical logs with our support team, facilitating a quicker and more accurate debugging process.

Why Live Logging?

When you face an issue and reach out to the Whatfix Mobile support team, you may need to provide detailed logs to enhance the team's ability to understand and resolve the problem efficiently. Live Logging captures real-time information about the behavior of Whatfix Mobile in your app, offering insights into potential glitches, errors, or misconfigurations. This feature serves as a valuable tool for both you and the support team to diagnose and address issues promptly.

  • Whatfix Mobile will start collecting relevant logs once you preview or run a project. If an issue happens when you run the project after enabling logs, the potential reason for those issues can be captured in those logs.
