Why do apps keep crashing on Android?

Android is the most diverse operating system that provides you with a broad spectrum of applications and games. While it gives you many options in both hardware and software, it also causes app developers to code their apps that can run on multiple different combinations of hardware and software. This sometimes led to Android applications crashing, and it feels irritating when you are using your favorite app, and it suddenly crashes and takes you back to the home screen. There are many reasons for this happening; the major ones are as follow:

• Unproperly downloaded or updated application; means you might have downloaded the wrong update as per your mobile device.
• Out of storage space; It is the most common error that causes the crashing of android apps.
• Lousy Wi-fi network; Most of the apps do not work properly, if there is an awful wi-fi network.

As you have learned the main reasons behind the crashing and malfunctioning of apps, let’s look at the solutions for these disruptions.
