Hello,

Is there a way to have a “loading” screen at startup that is visible until all the app is loaded?  
Right now, I have the Glide apps loading circle appear, then disappears and only after 5-10 seconds my listings appear.

There is a 5-10 sec gap where users see a blank screen and I want to prevent this

Thank you

Hey !

Thanks for raising your issue with the community. Unless it has been proven the contrary, I don’t think that’s possible as of now.

Hope this helps.

Do you have any background images or gifs that you use for you sign in screen? I have a gif that displays why the app is loading. It’s part of the sign in screen, but if you are already signed in, it just shows the image until the app is loaded.

Just go to the sign in screen settings and you can make your changes there.
