If an app unexpectedly quits, stops responding, or won’t open

If an app on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Apple Watch, or Apple TV stops responding, follow these steps to get help.


Force quit the app

  • iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Close the app and open it again.
  • Apple Watch: With the app open, press and hold the side button to show the power options. Then press and hold the Digital Crown to quit the app.
  • Apple TV: Double press the TV/Home button and swipe left or right to find the app with the issue. Then swipe up to close the app.
  •  

Restart your device

Restart your iOS or iPadOS device, Apple Watch, or Apple TV. Then open the app to see if it works as expected.

 

Check for updates

Make sure that your device has the latest version of iOS or iPadOS, watchOS, or tvOS.

Then check for app updates. Here's how to manually update apps on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Apple Watch. You might need a Wi-Fi connection to update some apps on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

On your Apple TV, go to Settings > Apps and turn on Automatically Update Apps. If you don't have automatic updates turned on, you can open the App Store, go to the Purchased tab, and open an app's product page to see if an update is available.

 

Remove and reinstall the app

  • iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: To offload the app, open the Settings app. Tap General, then tap iPhone Storage (or iPad Storage). Tap the affected app, then tap Offload app. Tap Offload app again. Wait a moment for the app to offload, then tap Reinstall App.
  • Apple TV: To delete the app, highlight the app on the Home screen, then press and hold the Touch surface until the app jiggles. Press Play/Pause, then select Delete. Open the App Store and redownload the app. Some apps require subscriptions for activation. If you can't activate the app or you don’t remember your sign-in information, contact the app developer.
  • Apple Watch: To delete the app, open the Watch app on your iPhone and tap the My Watch tab. Scroll to the app you want to remove, then tap it. Turn off Show App on Apple Watch, and wait for it to disappear from your watch's Home screen. To reinstall the app, scroll down to Available Apps in the My Watch tab and tap Install.
