freeze on iPhones and iPads, just as they can on any other platform. Apple\u2019s iOS and iPadOS operating systems disguise app crashes by closing the app. If you\u2019re experiencing crashing, freezing, or buggy apps, here\u2019s how you can fix your problem.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_it_an_App_or_Device_Crash\"><\/span>Is it an App or Device Crash?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>First, you have to figure out whether it\u2019s an app crash or a device crash. This is pretty simple: if you\u2019re using an app, and it suddenly closes for no reason, the app crashed. If you\u2019re using an app and it becomes unresponsive, but you can still access other apps, the app has\u00a0crashed. If you\u2019re trying to launch an app and it keeps disappearing, the app is repeatedly crashing.<\/p>\n<p>If your phone has become unresponsive, it\u2019s likely a device issue. Your phone will display a black screen or remain stuck on the Apple logo if the device has crashed. Also, if your iPhone or iPad is slow for no apparent reason, and across multiple apps, it\u2019s a device issue.<\/p>\n<p>If you cannot connect your wireless headphones, send files over AirDrop, or see AirPlay devices, it\u2019s possible a service used by the operating system has crashed.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Troubleshooting_App_Crashes\"><\/span>Troubleshooting App Crashes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Apps are third-party software that runs on your iPhone. Despite the, \u201cit just works,\u201d perception of Apple devices, there\u2019s plenty that can go wrong and cause apps to crash, become unresponsive, or refuse to open at all. Problems usually stem from issues with the code, unexpected input, and even hardware limitations. Apps are made by humans, after all, and humans make mistakes.<\/p>\n<p>If an app suddenly disappears, it\u2019s due to a crash. In most cases, reopening it resolves the problem. If you\u2019re sharing analytics with developers (more on this later), they receive a crash report they can use to prevent the problem from reoccurring.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Kill_an_Unresponsive_App\"><\/span>How to Kill an Unresponsive App<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If an app is unresponsive, you can kill it using the app switcher. There\u2019s no need to routinely kill apps using this method unless they\u2019re causing issues. The app switcher is accessed using different shortcuts, depending on your iPhone model:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>iPhone or iPad<\/strong><strong>\u00a0without a Home button:<\/strong> Swipe up from the bottom of the screen and flick to the right\u00a0<em>or\u00a0<\/em>Swipe up from the bottom of the screen and hold until you see a list of recently-used applications.<\/li>\n<li><strong>iPhone or iPad with a Home button):<\/strong> Double-tap the Home button until you see a list of recently-used applications.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You can use this list to switch between apps quickly. Find the application causing the issue, and then touch and swipe up on it to \u201cthrow it away\u201d and close it. The app will disappear from the list of recently-used apps.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-427923 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/app_switcher.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"The iOS App Switcher on an iPhone.\" width=\"322\" height=\"695\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Now try to restart the app. After you kill apps this way, it takes slightly longer to open them than it does when they\u2019re suspended in the background. This is why you shouldn\u2019t kill apps unnecessarily.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Check_for_Updates\"><\/span>Check for Updates<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Old versions of apps can also cause issues. Upgrading from one major version of iOS or iPadOS to another can cause stability issues if an app isn\u2019t updated to account for the changes. Sometimes, developers abandon their apps entirely.<\/p>\n<p>The most obvious solution here is to check for an update. Launch the App Store, head to the \u201cUpdates\u201d tab, and then tap \u201cUpdate All\u201d to install any available updates. You can see how long ago an app was updated by searching for it in the App Store and scrolling down to Version History.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-427924 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_1758.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"The Version History info of an app in the App Store.\" width=\"650\" height=\"633\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>If an app hasn\u2019t been updated in quite some time, you might want to seek an alternative. Sometimes, developers upload new versions as new apps. For example, the note-taking app Drafts 4 was renamed\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/drafts-legacy-version\/id905337691\">Drafts (Legacy Version)<\/a>\u00a0after\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/drafts\/id1236254471\">Drafts 5<\/a> was released.<\/p>\n<p>You can view a developer\u2019s other apps by tapping its name under the app description in the App Store.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reinstall_Problem_Apps\"><\/span>Reinstall Problem Apps<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Sometimes, apps crash way too frequently. Occasionally, one refuses to open altogether, crashing each time you try to start it. If you\u2019re experiencing either of these issues, delete, and then reinstall the app. You\u2019ll lose all local app data when you delete it, but this isn\u2019t a problem if it relies on the cloud (like Evernote, Google Drive, and Pages). If the app requires that you log in, you\u2019ll have to do this again when you reinstall it.<\/p>\n<p>To delete an app from your device:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Tap and hold the app icon until it moves.<\/li>\n<li>Tap the \u201cX\u201d next to the app, and then tap\u00a0\u201cDelete\u201d when prompted.<\/li>\n<li>Launch the App Store, find the app, and reinstall it.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-427927 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_1761.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Tap the &quot;X&quot; next to the app to delete it.\" width=\"650\" height=\"186\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Keep in mind, if the app is no longer available on the App Store, you won\u2019t be able to download it again.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Check_Your_App_Permissions\"><\/span>Check Your App Permissions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Sometimes, privacy settings can wreak havoc with your apps. For example, if a mapping app can\u2019t fetch your location, you need to make sure it has access to that information.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-427925 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_1760.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"The Microphone settings under the Privacy settings on iOS.\" width=\"650\" height=\"442\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Head to Settings &gt; Privacy and check any relevant categories, like Camera, Microphone, or Location Services. Any apps that require your permission to access services or information will be listed here.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Create_Some_Free_Space\"><\/span>Create Some Free Space<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If your device is full to the brim, you may encounter weird app behavior. This is particularly true of apps that require free space to function, like camera apps, audio recorders, and so on.

To contact the developer, find the app on the App Store, and then scroll down to the \u201cRatings and Reviews\u201d section. Tap on \u201cApp Support\u201d to be taken to the developer\u2019s support website. Much of the time this will be a FAQ, but there\u2019s usually contact info for the developer, too.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-428106 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_1766.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Tap &quot;App Support&quot; to contact the developer.\" width=\"650\" height=\"359\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Be sure to describe your issue in detail, and include your iPhone\/iPad model and iOS or iPadOS software version (both are under Settings &gt; About).

Apple\u2019s technicians will run a diagnostic on your device and find out if there are any issues under the hood.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-427926\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Screen-Shot-2019-07-09-at-14.53.44.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Make a Genius Bar or Authorized Service Center Appointment\" width=\"650\" height=\"358\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>You can then decide whether you want to get the device repaired. If repairs are expensive, it might be worth opting for a new device, instead.

Head to Settings &gt; Privacy &gt; Analytics to review your current analytics sharing policies. Analytics are anonymous usage stats gathered about your device, the software that runs on it, and what you use it for.<\/p>\n<p>You can enable \u201cShare iPhone and Watch Analytics\u201d to share information directly with Apple. The company can then use the info to improve the OS. You can also enable \u201cShare With App Developers\u201d to share anonymous usage and crash reports with third-party developers. This will help them squish bugs and create more stable software experiences.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-427928 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_1756.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Tap the &quot;Share iPhone &amp; Watch Analytics&quot; and &quot;Share With App Developers&quot; toggles to send analytics to Apple and other app developers.\" width=\"650\" height=\"672\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>There are a few other toggles you can enable, but none are as valuable as those two in terms of improving your everyday experience.
