Rebooting your device is one of the fastest, simplest, and most effective ways to solve most of the issues. So the first thing to do when your apps crash is to restart your iPhone 13.

1. Launch Safari and tap the Tabs button in the bottom right corner.
2. Now, either tap the ‘X’ on each thumbnail image or flick the thumbnails you do not want to the left to close them.

4. Reinstall the app:-

This is a solution for when only one or two apps are causing problems, not all of them. You can fix the issue by deleting and reinstalling the particular app(s). Here’s how – 

1. Long-press the icon of the app you want to delete, and let go when the apps start shaking/jittering.
2. Click on the (-) symbol on the icon, tap ‘Delete’ and then ‘Confirm’ to delete the app from the iPhone. 

Now follow these steps to download the application again –

Follow these instructions to check for new updates – 

1. Launch the App Store and tap the profile picture in the top right corner. 
2. If there are any apps to be updated, they will be listed there. 

You can also simply drag the screen down to refresh, and the App Store will check for updates afresh.

 6. Offload Applications:-

2. Scroll down and click on ‘iPhone Storage’.
3. From this list of apps, select the app that is crashing and click on ‘Offload App’.

What to do if none of the above work for iPhone 13 Apps Crashing Issue ?

1. Get Dr. Fone.
2. Now connect your device to the computer and launch Dr. Fone.
3. Next, tap on the ‘System Repair’ module.
