Key notes

Despite the emergence of several social media apps lately,Facebookcontinues to be one of the most popular ones, with over 1.5 billion users worldwide.

It’s one of the reasons why the app is constantly being updated. Nevertheless, along with the updates, users also experiencefrequent crashes.

And while users are advised to keep an eye on the mentioned updates, sometimes it’s not just a faulty app that’s causing the trouble.

Before jumping to other solutions, let’s check the basics.

Namely,Facebookneeds a stable Internet connection to work properly. So make sure that your Wi-Fi is still up and running – toggle your Wi-Fi icon on/off to deactivate and reactivate the connection.

If the app is still crashing, quitFacebookcompletely, as well as other apps. Then force stop thephoneby switching it off and powering it on again. This should solve any problems that might have appeared during startup.

And another thing: although unlikely,another app might interferewith theFacebookapp. Think of recently installed apps and of anything has changed since.

2. Update the app

Although updates should be installed automatically, sometimes you need to perform a manual update. Also, yourphonesettings, check for details about howFacebookis set to update.

3. Update phone to the latest OS version

For youriPhone, go toSettings > General > Software Update.

ForAndroid, go toSettings > Software Update.

Software updates can help address device issues that are attributed to system bugs and software glitches. Similar to all apps, successive system updates help correct these bugs, if applicable.

4. Clear some space

Not enough space on yourphonecan cause a lot of apps to malfunction,Facebookincluded.

Clearing the storage will not only better thephone‘s performance but it will also help it function well without lagging.

So make sure to clear the cache from either all apps or from each app individually, and get rid of unnecessary files, photos, or other items stored in your device.

5. Uninstall and reinstall the app

Last but not least, uninstalling the app should allow you get rid of any bugs, just as mentioned in the second solution, only in a more radical manner.

This will force you to install the latest version of the app anyway. So much the better, because for sure you’ll have the updates ready, no cache, no temporary files either.
