I'm having trouble logging in
The first time you use the My BT App, you'll need to log in using your BT ID and password.
If you've forgotten your BT ID username or password, see: I've forgotten my BT ID >
If you don't have a BT ID yet, you can create one now > All you need is an email address and your account number, which you'll find at the top of your latest bill. If you haven't got a bill, we can send you your account number in the post >
If you get your BT ID wrong three times on the app or on bt.com, we'll lock you out for 15 minutes. Please try again later.
I get an error message when trying to test my speed or restart my Hub
This may be because these features won't work with all versions of our Hub. We're working on fixing this, so keep an eye out for a new version of the app.
In the meantime, you can test your speed on your computer >
You can also find out how to restart your hub manually >
The app keeps crashing
Please make sure you're on the latest version of the app. Follow these links to find the app on Google Play > or in the iPhone App Store >
Also make sure you're using the latest operating system for your device.
If this doesn't help, try deleting the app and reinstalling it.
I can't find the app
To use the app, you need:
- iPhone 4s or iPad2 and above on iOS 8.1 or later
- Android smartphone or tablet on Android 6.0 or later
If you can't find the app it means it won't work with your phone. Apple users can update their operating system by going to Settings > General > Software Update.
If you have an Android device, check your user guide for instructions on how to update the operating system.

- You'll see a pop-up at the top of the screen which says "Set up Touch ID login" - tap this option
- If this option isn't available at the top of the screen, you can apply this setting by selecting the ‘Touch ID’ option from the side navigation menu
- Once you're at the setting, tap the ‘Enable Touch ID’ toggle to turn it on
- Each time the app is opened (either after a period of inactivity or after the app's been closed), you'll now be prompted to login using Touch ID instead of your PIN
