I signed up to a new account today and was able to log in without any issues.
Sadly, I dropped the phone and cracked the screen so I'm trying to move to my backup phone while looking into repair option.
Both are android, but I cannot log in using my second phone.
I freshly installed fongo from playstore and it says:
"Please reinstall the latest release of the app and try again"
I already logged out completely from the damaged phone and it still says this. I can log in successfully again with the damaged phone.
Does Fongo lock the number to a phone and doesn't allow moving it to another in my scenario?
Damaged phone, cannot log in on another phone

No. https://support.fongo.com/hc/en-us/arti ... e-devices-
I don't know what would trigger that error message after installing the latest version from an authorized marketplace, and I don't want to guess.I freshly installed fongo from playstore and it says:

I think I would uninstall Fongo from your second phone and reinstall it again.
The important thing is to make sure you are using the official version from the Google Play store and not some other 3rd party marketplace or app source.

I understand and saw mentions of that.Jake wrote:I think I would uninstall Fongo from your second phone and reinstall it again.

My second and now my third phone, both don't have fongo installed before.
I installed Fongo from playstore on both of them, it's the same error.

Re: Damaged phone, cannot log in on another phone
The only other thing I could think that would stop you from logging in is if the first account was made on an IOS device, but you say the first two devices were both Android.

Even if you can't log out from the first device, you should still be able to log in with another.
Can you check which versions you are running on each device?
Other than that, it's as Liptonbrisk suggested, which is to contact support.
