Part 1: Common Ways to Troubleshoot iPhone Apps that Keep Crashing

Quick ways are listed!

You may not be a tech expert but these easy steps will be good for you to try out before running to the nearest service center or contacting Apple support for assistance.

Method 1: Turn Off your iPhone

This is one of the most basic troubleshooting that you can do in order to fix apps when they crash. Just press the power button and wait until the "Slide to Power Off" display appears. Let your iPhone shut down completely and then turn it back on. This normally fixes the issue but if not try the other steps we have below.

Method 2: App Crashing? Quit it then go Back in

The easiest and simplest fix by far. Exit from the app, and to clear the app from memory go to your iPhone's multitasking screen by tapping the "Home" button twice. Find the app you would want to quit then swipe up. Click the "Home" button again to go back to your main screen then try to re-launch the app.

Method 3: Keep your Apps Up to Date

One of the reasons that apps may misbehave is that it may not be updated to its latest version. We tend to ignore updates since the effect will not be felt until such time that the app crashes. To check the latest version of an app simply go to the App store and then go to the "Updates" tab. Make sure that you install any available updates for all apps that have the need for it. Once finished re-launch then check if the problem still persists.

Update App

Method 4: Uninstall and Re-install

As the word implies, if your iPhone apps keep on crashing even with the latest version installed and you have rebooted your phone might as well try uninstalling the app and then re-install it. This will also free up some space on your storage since deleting it will also remove some accumulated app cache that tends to slow down your device.

Method 5: iOS Update

Just like there is a need for your app to be updated you would also need to make sure you have the latest iOS version for your iPhone. Some apps will only work with certain iOS versions.

Important Note: Create a backup before updating your iOS to avoid any data loss.

To update your iOS simply go to Settings>General>Software Update then click on "Download and Install". Best to let the update finish before doing anything else on your iPhone to avoid interruption and errors with the process.

Method 6: Reach out to the Experts

If the above-mentioned steps did not work for you, you can attempt to reach out to the app's developer. You can find the contact information on the details of the app in the App store. There are sometimes bugs that even the developers are not aware of that may not be fixed by the simple troubleshooting steps we mentioned above.

Part 2: Basic Fixes did not Work? DFU Restore your iPhone

DFU restore is different from putting your iPhone in recovery mode. This process will allow you to get a completely clean slate on your iPhone because not only will it delete the software but also the hardware settings. This will ultimately wipe out all data on your iPhone to make sure that you back up all your important files.

There are two ways to create a backup either via iTunes or iCloud.

Via iTunes

Step 1: Using the original cable that came with your iPhone connect it to your computer then launch the iTunes app.

Step 2: On the drop-down menu click "Device" icon then select "Summary"

Step 3: The next page will show you the option to Manually Back up and Restore your iPhone, click on "Backup Now". Once the process is completed just click on "Done"

Step 2: Click on "iCloud" then "iCloud Backup". On the next selection click on "Backup Now"

Important Note: You must have an iCloud account set up in order to use this feature to create a backup and that when logging in you enter the correct credentials.

After creating the necessary back up file you can now go ahead and do the DFU restore on your iPhone. Here's how to get into it.

Step 1: Connect your iPhone to your computer using the original USB cable that came with it (using a different one has been known to cause errors), then launch iTunes.

Step 2: Shut down your iPhone by holding down the power button. After which hold down the power button and the home button at the same time for about 10 seconds then release the power button first.

Step 3: Until you see a message on iTunes that your iPhone is now detected in recovery mode continue holding down the Home button.

Important Note: You would be able to determine that your iPhone is in DFU mode if the screen is completely black if you see any type of message repeat the process until you get it successfully in DFU mode otherwise your iPhone is just in the standard recovery mode which defeats the purpose of having your iPhone restored in DFU mode.

When you complete the DFU restore on your iPhone you can now attempt to restore the backup file you have created either via iTunes or iCloud to see if the issue of your apps crashing is now fixed.
