Force closing the Spruce app is a standard fix when Spruce support asks to reset the app state on a smartphone, for example after a bug or stuck screen. On iPhones without a home button, swipe up from the bottom edge, find the Spruce preview in the app switcher, and swipe up on it. On iPhones with a home button, double-click the home button and swipe up on the Spruce preview. On Android, go to Settings > Apps > See all apps, tap Spruce, select Force Stop, and confirm OK. Reopening Spruce afterwards loads a fresh app state.
