iPhone apps crash - this may be the reason
If apps crash on your Apple iPhone, there can be several reasons. In this practical tips, we have put together the most common causes that can lead to an app crash on your iPhone.
iPhone app crashes - what to do?
It's annoying when an app on your iPhone keeps crashing after launching or mid-use. Such an app crash can have several causes. Therefore, go through all of the solutions listed below in chronological order until you have successfully resolved the problem.
- Typically, an app on the Apple iPhone crashes when your iPhone's processor is busy, the application is faulty, or the app is incompatible with your system.
1. Cause: Busy processor
The most common reason why an iPhone app crashes is a very busy processor. A busy processor is usually the result of numerous active applications that you have closed but have not actually ended. Close all applications on your iPhone that you no longer need to relieve the processor. Alternatively, you can perform a soft reset on your iPhone to end all applications when you restart.
- First try to end all active applications. We have already recorded in another practical tip how you can close apps on your iPhone.
- You restart your iPhone by pressing the power button for about five seconds and then moving the red slider. Finally, hold down the power button again for 5 seconds to restart your device.
2. Cause: Faulty app
Another cause of the apps crashing on your iPhone can be incorrect application. A faulty application usually arises when the app has not been completely downloaded or the app data has been changed or deleted, making the application unusable. In this case, you should delete the app and reinstall it on your iPhone.

3. Cause: Incompatible application
If you download applications from the "App Store", you will usually be shown if a certain app is not compatible with your system or your iOS version. However, there are a few exceptions in which you can install and run the application, but it does not work smoothly. This is mostly because you may have an older iPhone model and therefore an older iOS version.
- In many cases, the app description will refer you to the required iOS version. Therefore, scan the description of the app to be installed and pay attention to possible instructions before installation.
- In addition, find out which iOS version an app requires so that it can run smoothly on your iPhone. Do this especially if you download applications outside of the "App Store".
