Apps freezing or closing unexpectedly on your iPhone or Android? You’re not alone. At Boston Mobile Phone Repairs, we often see customers dealing with app crashes that affect everything from Instagram to banking apps.
Whether it started after a software update or happens only with certain apps, this guide will help you figure out whatās going wrongāand how to fix it fast.
App crashes usually come down to one of these common causes:
Outdated apps or OS
Lack of available memory (RAM) or storage
Corrupted app data or cache
Conflicts after a software update
Poor internet connection
Buggy app versions or third-party interference
It may sound simple, but rebooting can clear temporary system glitches that affect app stability.
Go to the App Store or Google Play, search for the crashing app, and tap āUpdate.ā Developers frequently fix bugs in new versions.
iPhone: Settings > General > Software Update
Android: Settings > System > System Update
Settings > Apps > [App Name] > Storage > Clear Cache
If it still crashes, try Clear Data (this resets the app)
If your phone is low on space, apps may struggle to run.
Delete unused apps
Offload large files or media
Clear download folders
Some apps crash when your Wi-Fi or mobile data is unstable. Try switching networks or turning Airplane Mode on/off.
If the same apps keep crashing even after all these steps, it may point to deeper issues like:
Corrupt operating system
Failing memory
Malware
App conflicts caused by jailbreaking or rooting
