Key will not connect: use the backup key

Updated 31 October 2026 · 2 min read

Most of the time, “not connecting” comes down to the particular network you are on. For those cases Grusha gives you a second, spare key: it works through a different address.

How to get the backup key

  1. Open the mini app → “Key” tab
  2. Tap “Backup key” → “Copy”
  3. In Happ: “+” → “Add from clipboard”
  4. Switch to the new profile and tap “Connect”

Note. Keep both keys in the app and switch to whichever is faster right now.

If that does not work either

  • Switch networks: Wi-Fi ↔ mobile data
  • Turn on flight mode for 10 seconds, then turn it off
  • Message support in the bot with your network type, region and a screenshot of the error

Frequently asked questions

Is the backup key slower?
Usually not, but it depends on the network. It is a spare address — use whichever is faster at the moment.
