Every phone is built to stand a certain level of usage. Some power users end up burdening the CPU by installing apps that do not ideally qualify for the phone. This creates instability in the app causing it to crash.
These are some of the most common reasons that cause apps to crash automatically. Most of the times, the cause of the problem will make it easier for you to identify the right solution.
Procedure 1:Update the App
Apps must always run their updated version so that any known bugs or errors can be fixed in it. Developers regularly roll out updated to solve user issues with the app. There is a chance that the app begins to crash because it is running an old version that lacks the performance capabilities of its updated version.
Go to the Play Store
Tap on the menu icon (three horizontal bars) on the left of the search bar
Tap on My apps and games
From the list of installed apps and games, look for the app causing trouble and check if the update button is highlighted next to it.
Tap on Update if the button is highlighted and the latest version of the app will be installed on your device.
Once the app is updated, check if the problem has been solved.
Procedure 2: Make Space on Your Device
Many apps need adequate space for creating new files or storing data created when you use the apps. When your phone or tablet begins to run low on storage space, it gets difficult for the app to create data. Many devices feature lots of storage, but if you have too many apps and data files taking up space then your app may crash. An easy way to solve this problem is to check for apps that you haven’t used for a long time and uninstall them. You can also use Android apps for cleaning up old and unwanted files from the device.
Procedure 3: Clear App Cache and App Data
If an app crashes frequently then you may be able to fix the problem by clearing the app cache and data. The app cache files include data which speeds up the app performance. Deleting the cache files will not cause any loss of important data. The file will be automatically created when you open the app the next time, albeit you may notice a slight delay in opening the app after deleting the cache files. This is because the cache files are being created.
The app data files, on the other hand, include important data like passwords and other information that personalizes the app for you. By clearing the data file you will lose the configuration of the app and it will have to be reconfigured.
Go to the Settings menu of your device
Tap on Apps
Look for the app causing the problem and tap on it
Tap on Clear Cache
Next, tap on Clear Data and Tap on OK when you see a warning that tells you that data related to the app configuration will be lost.
Once the cache and data files have been cleared, you will get the chance to start all over again with the app. Check if this fixes the problem.
Solution 4: Uninstall Apps That You Don’t Use
A lot of times, we end up housing apps that we don’t use at all in our app drawer. In addition to taking up precious storage space, if any of these apps develop a bug, then you will begin facing all sorts of problems, and sometimes it may even extend to other apps which may share the same permissions. Avoid such problems by cleaning up your device and removing those apps that you do not use.
Tap on the Settings icon from the notifications shade
Look for Apps and tap on it
Check the apps that you do not require
Tap on them and you will either have the option to uninstall or disable them.
Once you uninstall the apps you do not use, restart your device and check if the problem of the app closing on its own is fixed.
