Fix Frequent App Crashes on iPhone in the US
If your iPhone apps keep crashing unexpectedly, you’re not alone. Many U.S. users experience app instability after iOS updates, low storage, or background software conflicts. This OnePlus guide explains the main causes and step-by-step fixes to stop frequent app crashes on your iPhone — safely and effectively.
Why iPhone Apps Keep Crashing
Frequent app crashes can occur due to:
-
Outdated iOS or app versions.
-
Corrupted app data or cache.
-
Low storage or memory overload.
-
Software bugs after system updates.
-
Network or permission conflicts.
OnePlus Tip: Before deleting an app, try basic fixes — most issues can be solved within minutes.
Step 1: Update Apps Regularly
Outdated apps may crash when they’re not optimized for the latest iOS.
-
Open the App Store.
-
Tap your profile icon → Update All.
-
Reopen the app to check if it runs smoothly.
OnePlus Tip: Enable Automatic Updates in App Store settings to prevent future crashes.
Step 2: Update iOS to the Latest Version
Apple often releases iOS updates that fix bugs causing app instability.
-
Go to Settings → General → Software Update.
-
Tap Download and Install if an update is available.
-
Restart your iPhone once the update finishes.
This ensures your apps and system framework are in sync.
Step 3: Force Close and Reopen the App
A temporary glitch can cause an app to freeze or crash.
-
Swipe up from the bottom (or double-press Home).
-
Find the crashing app and swipe it up to close.
-
Reopen the app to start fresh.
OnePlus Tip: Avoid keeping too many apps open — it can slow your phone and trigger app reloads.
Step 4: Clear App Cache and Data
Cached data can become corrupted, especially after updates.
For apps like Safari, Snapchat, or Chrome:
-
Go to the app’s Settings → Clear Cache or History.
For other apps:
-
Go to Settings → General → iPhone Storage → [App] → Offload App.
This removes the app but keeps user data intact.
Reinstall it from the App Store and test again.
Step 5: Check iPhone Storage
Low storage can cause apps to crash or fail to load.
-
Open Settings → General → iPhone Storage.
-
Review large apps and files.
-
Offload or delete unnecessary apps or videos.
OnePlus Tip: Keep at least 1–2 GB of free space to maintain stable app performance.
Step 6: Reset All Settings (Without Data Loss)
If crashes persist, a system conflict might be the cause.
-
Go to Settings → General → Transfer or Reset iPhone.
-
Tap Reset → Reset All Settings.
-
Your apps and data remain intact, but system settings reset to default.
This often resolves deep iOS bugs affecting multiple apps.
Step 7: Reinstall Problematic Apps
If only one app crashes repeatedly:
-
Tap and hold the app icon → Remove App → Delete App.
-
Restart your iPhone.
-
Reinstall from the App Store.
Reinstalling clears corrupted app files that trigger crashes.
Step 8: Check App Permissions
Some apps need specific permissions (camera, location, storage). Denying them may cause the app to malfunction.
-
Go to Settings → [App Name].
-
Enable required permissions (like Camera or Files).
OnePlus Tip: Review permissions periodically to ensure apps function correctly.
Step 9: Monitor Background Activity
Too many background refreshes can overload memory and crash apps.
-
Go to Settings → General → Background App Refresh.
-
Turn it off for apps that don’t need it.
This not only reduces crashes but also improves battery life.
