# Improved offline support for Expo

We're excited to announce experimental offline support for Clerk's Expo SDK. This update significantly improves how Expo applications using Clerk handle network connectivity issues.

## Key Features

- Initialization of the Clerk SDK is now more resilient to network failures.
- Faster resolution of the `isLoaded` property and the `<ClerkLoaded>` control component.
- Network errors are no longer muted, allowing developers to catch and handle them effectively in their custom flows.
- The `getToken()` function in the `useAuth()` hook now supports returning cached tokens, minimizing disruptions caused by network failures.

## How to use
