Apps that crash when you launch them or randomly crash when you are using them can be very frustrating. This could be because of a bug in the app or a problem with your device.
Here are five quick fixes that can help you solve this problem and put an end to your crashing apps.
The quickest and easiest tip to try when an app is crashing is to clear it from your iPhone or iPad’s memory by force closing or quitting the app and re-launching it.
If the app is still giving issues, move on to the one of the next tips.
To try fix the problem of crashing apps you can force reboot your iPhone or iPad, which will clear the RAM (memory) and kill any apps. If you just restart your device, the RAM is written to the disk and when your device restarts it gets loaded into the RAM again.
To force reboot your iPhone or iPad, follow these steps:
Once you perform the reboot, open the app and see whether you have solved your problem.
If you launch the app and it crashes immediately, the problem could be down to compatibility issues or the app could have a bug. If this is the case, the app’s developer could have released a new version of the app to fix these issues. If the app does not update automatically then check the App Store for updates.
Once the update is complete, open the app and see if the update has stopped the app from crashing.
While deleting and reinstalling the app could solve the problem, it does mean that you will also delete any app related data collected since the original install. However, reinstalling the app will also clear the app cache and free up storage space on your device.
Once you have deleted the crashing app, open the App Store > tap on Search in the bottom tab bar > search for your app > press Install.
As a last resort, you may want to look at installing the latest operating system on your device, if you are currently using an older version, even though the majority of apps are compatible with older versions of iOS.
Alternatively, if you do not want to update via a Wi-Fi network, you can also update via iTunes.
Once the install is complete, your iPhone or iPad will reboot in the latest version of iOS. Launch the app and see if you have finally solved your app crashing problem.
If you have worked your way through the list and you are still having issues, you can contact the app’s developer and report the issue. Alternatively, with over 1.5 million apps available in the App Store there is likely going to be another app that you can use as an alternative.
