It is really irritating
when an app crashes on the first time you open it. Many users have reported crashing problems on
their iOS devices while using Instagram, Facebook, Google+, Skype and other
such apps. Users state that a soft reset of device can solve this issue and
yes, it works most of the times however isn’t an all-round solution. There are a
few more techniques to fix this issue which are being discussed below:
Soft
Reset
This is the first thing
that everyone does to their iOS device when they face an app crash. The ‘soft
reset’ releases the memory by killing the apps and gives you a fresh start.
Perform the follow steps to do a soft reset on your iOS device.
·
Press the power and home button at the
same time.
·
The slide to power off the iPhone
appears however do only hold the button down.
·
The iPhone shuts down with the screen
going blank. Continue keeping the button still and after that the iPhone
reboots with the Apple logo coming up on the screen.
In most cases, the
crash issues get solved by this. Now open the app that continued crashing
before.
Reinstall the App
If
‘soft reset’ does not work then the user can un-install the app from your
device and install it again. And in this case, user needs to install the app
via iTunes and afterward transfers it to his/her device through syncing. If no
option is left with user, user must go with this. Though it is not a great
method to follow, yet a “can-follow” alternative. Below are the steps to perform
this:
·
Un-install the app form
your iOS device.
·
Search for the app in
iTunes and download it.
·
Connect the iOS device to
your PC.
·
Sync the device to install the app
successfully.
·
Disconnect the device
when sync gets completed, restart the device and start using app.
Proceed
onward to the following step if crashing still holds on.
Clear Memory
At
times, users open up a number of applications at the same time which causes a
lot of memory being used. In this
way, when user opens another application, it just won't start because of
insufficient memory and subsequently results an app crash. This issue can be
fixed by swiftly pressing the Home button twice to open up the multi-task
switching bar and by closing all the unnecessary running apps in the
background. And then start using the crashing app.
Sometimes
it happens due to insufficient memory storage, so try to free up space on your
device so that no app crashes result due to low storage.
