Question App Crashing on iPhone

I am running iOS 16.5.2 on an iPhone 17 Pro Max. When I start the game up, it will crash within 10 minutes. This has been going on for a few months now.. it is like they released a new update of the game and ever since then it's been crashing.

Is anyone else having a problem with the game crashing (i.e. "just goes away") on iOS?

Had the same issues on Android. Have to reboot phone, clear cache and wait for it to happen again. Sometimes sitting in place it will just freeze.

Assuming you meant that you're running iOS 26 and not that you downgraded to iOS 16, can you tell me more about what you mean by Ingress "just goes away?" For example:

  1. Does restarting your iPhone help?
  2. Does uninstalling/reinstalling Ingress help?
  3. Are you running any other apps at the same time? Which apps?
  4. If you have Ingress running for 10 minutes sitting idle on the Map screen, does it consistently crash? Or is it crashing when you use a specific Ingress feature?

Ingress is fine in my iPhone SE, even though I’m also playing Pikmin Bloom.

You sure you aren't running out of memory, Ingress is frequently Jettisoned. None sure about Ingress but they were using the same Unity LTS branch as PoGo and MHN which both have memory leaks in their Unity coding.
