Why can't my question be solved?

Sometimes, Solve runs into a problem when solving your question. We recommend trying again, and ensuring the question is clear and completely in the frame.

Why is the solution from Solve incorrect or inaccurate?

While Solve can accurately answer most questions, occasionally, it can get things wrong. This is more common from mathematical questions that require highly complex reasoning. We recommend verifying answers provided by Solve before submitting your work. If you receive incorrect steps or an incorrect answer, report it by scrolling to the bottom and tapping Report answer.

Why are photos from the question history appearing as black?

This is a known issue that occurs after the app is updated, and we're working on resolving this as soon as possible.
