How to fix app crashing problems on your iPhone or iPad
One of the things we tend to take for granted is the stability of the iPhone and iPad apps. I realized it yesterday when I had an app that I wanted to use, kept crashing on me. It has been a while since I have had an app crashing on me like this.
It can be quite annoying as we are so used to getting information instantly on our iPhones and smartphones.An app can crash randomly in the middle of using it, which is probably more common, or it can crash immediately after you launch it. The problem I was facing was the latter, where it was just not possible to use the app. The issue where the app crashes randomly in the middle of using it, is most likely due to a bug so the best thing to do in such cases is to report the bug to the developer so that they can fix it.
There are a few solutions you can try to fix the app crashing issue on your iPhone or iPad.The simplest thing to do when you hit the app crashing issue is to force close or quit the app running in the background and re-launch it. By force closing or quitting the app, you’re removing it from memory so you can relaunch it cleanly. Follow these simple steps:
- Press the Home button two times quickly to access the app switcher or multitasking tray. You’ll see small previews of your recently used apps. Alternatively, if you have an iPhone 6s or iPhone 6s Plus, then you can press firmly on the left edge of the screen to switch to the multitasking view.
- Swipe until you find the app you’re looking for.
- Then swipe up on the app’s preview to close it.
Like most IT problems, one of the first things you can do to fix the problem is reboot your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch to see if it resolves the crashing issue.
The best method to fix the app crashing issue is to force reboot the iPhone or iPad rather than just restarting your device using the Sleep/Wake or Power button. It is also called hard reboot or hard reset.
You can force restart or reboot your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch by pressing and holding both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons simultaneously for at least 10-12 seconds until you see the Apple logo.
When you restart the iPhone by powering it off and powering it on again is that all the memory (RAM) gets written to the disk, and is loaded into the RAM again when the device reboots. In case of the force reboot, iPhone or iPad does not load what was loaded before, so it is more effective in resolving app crashing issues.
After your device has rebooted, launch the app to see if it has resolved the crashing issue.- Go to the Home screen.
- Tap and hold on the app icon you want to delete, and wait for a few seconds to put it in jiggle mode. Note, if you have an iPhone 6s or iPhone 6s Plus then lightly place your finger on the app icon to avoid triggering 3D Touch Quick Actions.
- Tap on the x on the app icon, then tap on Delete when prompted to delete the app.
- Now launch the App Store, and tap on Search in the tab bar at the bottom to search for the app and install it again.
