Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What can guests (without signing in) do?
You can browse blog articles, forum threads, use unified search, view reading history, download articles offline, see Recommended for You, and use the travel tools and trip features.
Why do some features require signing in?
Bookmarking, push preferences, posting / replying / private messages, applying to join the author team, and upgrading to Yucts Plus require signing in to your forum account. Signing in also lets you sync bookmarks, likes, and push settings.
How do I read articles offline?
There are two ways: ① On the article detail page, tap the top-right "⋯" and choose "Offline Download"; ② In "Reading History," swipe right on an article and choose "Save Offline." Afterward, go to "Reading History → Offline Saved" to read it in Reader Mode even in Airplane Mode. See Home & Content Browsing.
How do I clear the cache / free up space?
Go to "Profile → Local Storage," where you can see the size of the article cache and forum cache; tap "Clear All Cache" to free space or force a reload of the latest content.
Why am I not receiving push notifications?
Please check: ① The "Push Notifications" master switch and the corresponding push preferences are enabled under "Profile → Notifications"; ② iOS system settings allow notifications for this app (you can check the push authorization status under "Profile → App Permissions"); ③ You're not in Do Not Disturb hours; ④ Personalized pushes require signing in.
How do I translate an article?
On the article detail page, tap the top-right "⋯ → Translate to…" and choose a language to translate the title and body into it, and you can "Show Original" at any time. You can also enable "Auto-translate articles" under "Profile → Language" to translate automatically based on your system language. See AI Assistant & Translation.
What data does iCloud sync?
"Profile → iCloud Sync" is the master switch for all cross-device sync, covering preferences such as appearance and notifications, as well as travel data such as trips, packing, expenses, shopping, journals, and bookmarks. Turning it off stops all cross-device sync. Please make sure you're signed in to iCloud.
How do I become an author?
Go to the "Authors" tab and tap "Join the Author Team" at the bottom of the page to submit an application (requires signing in; we'll identify you by your forum account and send you a forum message).
What does Yucts Plus include?
Removing in-app ads, the forum VIP user group, and supporting the development team. Opting out of tracking under ATT only makes ads non-personalized; it doesn't remove them. See Yucts Plus Subscription.
How do I check system status or view the user guide?
Go to the "Authors" tab and tap the Yucts logo at the top right to open the "About" page; tap "System Status" (status.yucts.com) to see whether each service is operating normally, and tap "User Guide" (docs.yucts.com) for operating instructions. When the core content sites are under maintenance, Home also automatically shows a service status banner.
Where do I change my password or email?
For security reasons, please change your password and email on the forum website; the app provides sign-in, registration, and password recovery.
How do I cancel my subscription?
For a monthly / annual subscription, cancel under iOS "Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions," at least 24 hours before it expires. See Yucts Plus Subscription.
How do I contact you?
Please use the contact info on the "About" page (contact@yucts.com) or Contact Us.
