FAQs
Q: Why do apps crash on my iPhone 12?
A: Apps crash due to insufficient memory, outdated versions, corrupted data, or compatibility issues with your iOS version. Check available storage and update both the app and iOS.
Q: Will force closing an app delete my data?
A: No, force closing an app won't delete your data. Your app data is stored separately. Force closing just stops the running process.
Q: Should I offload or delete an app to fix crashes?
A: Try offloading first (which keeps your data), then reinstalling. This often fixes corruption issues. Delete only if offloading doesn't work.
