Hi- apologies if this been covered already elsewhere. If memory serves, opening up the purple app previously would default to “real time” sensor readings with a graph that covered a short time frame, such as 12 or 24 hours.

Now, when using the app the default values for the sensors are 10 minute intervals, and the graph shows a default timeframe of about 2 months. I have cleared my phone’s Safari history & cache and reinstalled (“save to Home Screen”) the Purple app but this does not seem to make a difference.

How can I set up phone app so that my default values will the “real time” sensor data & the graph data will be for a short time period (24 hours)?

TIA!

Thank you for detailing the troubleshooting steps you’ve already tried. This change will be reverted in the next map update we are working on. Until then, you can [zoom in on the graph](https://community.purpleair.com/t/how-to-use-the-map-graph/1122#p-1945-zooming-in-on-a-mobile-device-4) to see a smaller time range of data.
