Streaming App Keeps Crashing? Try These Steps
A general troubleshooting sequence for apps that crash repeatedly, applicable across most devices.
Repeated app crashes are frustrating, but they're usually resolved by working through a consistent set of steps, regardless of which device you're using.
Restart First
Before anything else, fully restart both the app and the device it's running on. This alone resolves a large share of crashing issues.
Check for Updates
- Check your device's app store for a pending app update
- Check your device's system settings for a pending software update
- Install any available updates before continuing
Check Available Storage
Low storage space can cause instability in apps. Check your device's storage settings and free up space if needed.
Reinstall as a Final Step
If crashing continues, uninstall and reinstall the app, then sign in again with your account details.
