How to Fix Apps Crashing on Android

Nobody likes it when an app crashes for no apparent reason. Whichever Android phone you are using, you will probably encounter a problem like this, and this is why it is useful to know what you can do to fix it. Here are some steps that you can try:

Restarting your phone

Yes, sometimes it will be that easy. All you need to do is restart your phone. However, if that doesn’t work, keep reading.

Update the app

After you have restarted your phone, you can try updating your phone as well as the app. To manually update your app, you need to open the Google Play Store and in the menu choose My apps & games. Find the app that is creating the problem and tap update.

Clear the app's cache and data

If the problem persists, there is an option that usually solves it. Go to settings and to the Applications where you will find the option Application manager. Find the option All tab and there find the problematic app. Activate the option Clear Data and Clear Cache. By doing this, you have deleted a lot of unnecessary data from the memory of your phone in which there could be those that are making the app crash or even making your phone restart for no apparent reason.

Restart the settings of all apps

If the previous step didn’t do the trick, you could try restarting the settings of all apps at once. To do this, you need to open the Settings on your phone and find the App category where all of the apps are listed. What you should do then is touch the “three dots” for additional options. In the drop menu, you should choose “reset app preferences”.

Uninstalling the app

If none of the above works, the next logical step would be to try to uninstall the app and then install it again from the Play Store.

However, if none of this works, I am sorry to inform you, but you will have to find a different app that does the same thing. It shouldn’t be that hard considering how many apps are available in Google Play Store. But we do hope these steps helped you use your favorite app without issues.
