Close and reopen the app: This is the simplest fix and often works. Just swipe up on the app preview card to close it, then relaunch the app.

  • Force quit the app: If closing the app normally doesn't work, you can force quit it. The way to do this depends on your iPhone model. Here are instructions for iPhones with Face ID and iPhones with a Home button:
    • For iPhones with Face ID: Swipe up from the bottom of the screen and pause briefly in the middle of the screen. Then, swipe up on the app preview card of the app you want to close.
    • For iPhones with a Home button: Double-click the Home button to bring up the app switcher. Swipe left or right to find the app you want to close. Swipe up on the app preview card to close it.
  • Restart your iPhone: Restarting your iPhone can clear temporary glitches that might be causing the app to crash. The way to restart your iPhone depends on your model. You can find instructions online or consult Apple's support website.
  • Check for app updates: Outdated apps can sometimes crash. Open the App Store and tap on your profile picture in the top right corner. Then, scroll down to see if there are any updates available for your apps. If there are, tap "Update" next to the app.

Update your iPhone:** Make sure your iPhone is running the latest version of iOS. You can check for updates by going to Settings > General > Software Update.

  • Delete and reinstall the app: If none of the above steps work, you can try deleting the app and then reinstalling it. This will delete all of your data for the app, so be sure to back up any important data before you do this.
  • Check your internet connection: If the app requires an internet connection to function, a poor Wi-Fi or cellular data connection may cause it to crash. Try connecting to a different network or restarting your router.
    Free up storage space:** If your iPhone is low on storage space, it can cause apps to crash. Try deleting unused apps, photos, videos, or other files to free up space.
