Answered by Stephen Mosley

When it comes to fixing apps crashing on iOS 15, there are several troubleshooting steps you can try. Follow these detailed instructions to resolve the issue:

1. Close The App and Run It Again: Start by closing the app that is crashing. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen or double-click the home button (depending on your iPhone model) to access the app switcher. Then, swipe left or right to find the app that is crashing and swipe it up or off the screen to close it. Afterward, relaunch the app and check if it still crashes.

2. Force Restart iPhone: If closing and reopening the app doesn’t help, try force restarting your iPhone. The steps vary depending on the iPhone model you have:

– iPhone 6s or older: Press and hold the Home button and the power button together until the Apple logo appears.
– iPhone 7 and 7 Plus: Press and hold the volume down button and the power button together until the Apple logo appears.
– iPhone 8 or newer (including iPhone SE 2020): Quickly press and release the volume up button, then quickly press and release the volume down button. press and hold the side (or power) button until the Apple logo appears.

3. Update Your Apps to The Latest Version: Outdated apps can sometimes conflict with the iOS system and cause crashes. Open the App Store and tap on your profile picture in the top right corner. Scroll down to the “Available Updates” section and update all the apps listed there. Alternatively, you can go to the app’s page in the App Store and update it individually.

4. Reinstall the Apps If Apps Keep Crashing on iOS 15: If updating the apps didn’t resolve the issue, you can try uninstalling and reinstalling the problematic app. Press and hold the app icon on the home screen until the icons start shaking, then tap the “x” button on the app you want to uninstall. Confirm the deletion and go to the App Store to reinstall the app.

5. Update to The Latest iOS Version: Apple regularly releases iOS updates that include bug fixes and performance improvements. Make sure you are running the latest version of iOS by going to Settings > General > Software Update. If an update is available, tap “Download and Install” to update your device.

6. Reset All Settings: If the app crashing issue persists, you can try resetting all settings on your iPhone. This will not erase your data but will reset all your personalized settings to default. Go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings and enter your passcode when prompted.

7. Contact App Developer: If none of the above steps help, it’s possible that the issue lies with the app itself. Reach out to the app developer’s support team for assistance. They may be aware of the issue and provide you with a solution or a future update to fix the problem.

Remember, these troubleshooting steps are general recommendations and may not work in all situations. If the problem persists, you might need to consider contacting Apple Support or visiting an Apple Store for further assistance.
