Part 1: Why Apps crash on Android?
What will you do if Apps keep crashing on your Android devices? A quick suggestion: do not move on to solving the Android Apps crashing issue immediately. Rather, pay some attention towards the real causes behind why Apps keep crashing on Android.
It is very annoying when you are using your favorite App and it suddenly stops or hangs and you are directed back to the Home Screen. This usually occurs when you update your device software but forget to download App updates from the Play Store. Also, when your WiFi or cellular data is slow or unstable, Apps tend to malfunction. Another reason for Android Apps crashing problem is the lack of storage space in your device. This occurs when you overload your device’s internal memory with heavy Apps, games, photos, movies, videos, audio files, documents and what not. This clogs up your internal memory as well as corrupts the device’s cache partition and Apps cache and data.
We are all aware that Android is a very self-sufficient platform and performs many operations on its own. Thus, a change undergoing in the device’s software is also to be blamed for Apps crashing Android issue.
Just like the reasons which cause Apps to crash, the solutions listed and explained below are also easy to understand and simple to implement.
