How to Stop Your Android Apps from Force Closing

Apps force close all the time, and each time is more frustrating and inconvenient than the last. It comes seemingly out of nowhere, but thankfully there are two things you can do to stop it from happening.

It’s usually down to the app itself, or the amount of RAM left on your Android. Whatever the reason behind it, your apps will be back up and running in no time soon, this time without closing on you.

Option 1: Free up Some RAM

Your RAM basically amounts to how much your Android can handle at one time. If something takes more RAM than you have, you can’t run it. If an app starts to take up more RAM than your Android has on hand, it’ll forcefully close, which gives you the problem you have now.

Stop Processes and Close Apps

Even though your Android systems take up a lot of RAM, you can’t end those, so you’ll need to lose something else if you’re having RAM problems. This is usually the point where it’s recommended you use a task killer, but it’s better to avoid using those if you can. Instead, if you have any of the apps on this list open, close them and wait for a few minutes. 

The process will still be cached for a few apps, but you’ll at least have more RAM than you did before. If you still don’t have enough RAM, click on one of the apps you have in the Running menu.

Using Task Killers

If you absolutely must use a task or app killer, use one of these, but make sure you use it very sparingly. Killing apps and tasks left and right will damage your Android’s processing ability in the long run.

Option 2: Uninstall and Reinstall the App

If RAM isn’t the problem, then it’s either the app itself that’s causing the problem or another app on your Android isn’t playing nicely with it. Before we get into other apps, let’s look at the app that’s force closing first.

1.   Uninstall the App

This is the easiest part of the process. Open your Storage settings, find the app, and then uninstall it.

2.   Reinstall and Open the App

After you’ve uninstalled the app, open the Play Store again, or wherever you downloaded the app to install it one more time. If you’re in the Play Store, open up the second under your profile with your apps and games to see a list of everything currently or once installed.

3.    Checking Open Apps and Processes

For a moment, go back to where you see your current RAM usage. If there’s another app causing a problem for you, it’s on this list somewhere. If the force closing is a recent problem, an app that you installed recently is the troublemaker.

Option 3: Basic Troubleshooting

If you’re still experiencing force close issue, then something deeper than just a problem app is giving you headaches. You’ll have to take it to a repair shop yourself and get it checked out by a professional.
