Apps Keep Crashing on Android? Here's the Fix

One app or every app crashing, diagnose and fix app crashes step by step.

Crashes concentrated in one app point to that app's data; crashes everywhere point to the system WebView, low storage or memory pressure. The ladder below covers both.

  1. 1Update the crashing app in the Play Store, crash fixes ship constantly.
  2. 2Clear the app's cache: Settings → Apps → (app) → Storage → Clear cache.
  3. 3Force stop and reopen. Still crashing? Clear data (logs you out of that app).
  4. 4Everything crashing? Update 'Android System WebView' and Chrome, historic cause of mass crashes.
  5. 5Free storage to at least 10% and reboot.
  6. 6Reinstall the app; if it still crashes, check its Play Store reviews, it may be broken for everyone.

Tip: Advanced users can read the exact crash cause with our Logcat Analyzer, paste 'adb logcat' output and look for the FATAL EXCEPTION.
