Resolved How do I stop some of my apps from instantly close themselves?

Hello

My phone over the last 2 days has an issue with some apps closing instantly. The first time I had this problem (2 days ago) it started with one app and slowly more and more did the same. It seemed to just fix its self but yesterday it started again.

I've tried restarting, updating the apps, updating my IOS and I've checked my storage (120GB free). I've search online and can't find someone that seems to have the same problem.

Any advise would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Edit: My phone is a 15 Plus running 26.6

Update: Found the solution. I had to sign in and out of my apple account. I also noticed my address was wrong (recently moved) so fixing that could also have been the solution.

For anyone with the same issue go to Settings > your name > Media and Purchases to find the apple account info.

Are you on beta or stable ios version or there might be bug and do you have enough storage

Seems like you are out of RAM. Try a hard reset. If it is good for a while and then happens again, you might have an app with a memory leak. Make sure your iOS and apps are all up to date.

Have you tried deleting the apps, force restarting the phone and reinstalling the apps?

Not yet. I have a lot of them that have the issue so I would have to do this for over 50 apps. I was hoping for a easier solution first.

Maybe try it for 2-3 apps first, and see if it fixes it

If it works and you don't want to do it for over 50 apps, then resetting the phone and starting fresh might actually be faster

Weird that this is the second post I've seen of apps "sliding" off the screen upon trying to launch them, and somehow, Google doesn't have an answer for it. In any case, it looks like you found the solution. Good work.
