How to Fix ‘Unfortunately app has stopped’ errors?
There is one problem that we usually encounter: the cursed Unfortunately, (fill in app name here) has stopped error message. It appears when you’re in the middle of using an app, and then forces that app to close. Annoying, right? Here’s how to fix Unfortunately, app has stopped errors.
1. Clear out the app’s storage
Clear cache is the option you should start with. It will get rid of saved data that allows apps to load a little quicker when you launch them. Clearing it means the app will open a little slower, but your main problem might well be solved.
Clear data will erase all the app’s data, including files, settings and accounts, so don’t use this unless you have to.
