Apps crashing.

How do I stop apps on my iPad from crashing?

There is this App/Game called “Among Us” which I have downloaded for my IPad and have been trying to play, but the second I join into a game it kicks me out. It can sometimes vary. It could happen the second I get in, or a few seconds after. I’ve been really wanting to play this game so I want to know if there is something I can do to prevent this.

thanks.

iPad Air, iOS 12

That iPad is getting very close to the minimal amount of storage an iPad need just for the OS to operate properly.

Any iPad needs to maintain a constant free, internal data storage minimum of between 2-4 GBs.


Also,

A 32 GBs storage iPad starts out with approx 30 GBs, after initial internal drive formatting.

Minus aprox 5 GBs, or so, for iOS leaves 25 GBs.Minus 2-4 GBs for iOS system reserve, for adequate operation of iOS, equals approx. between 21-23 GBs of actual, usable, practical internal data storage space.


You should never, EVER fill up ANY computer or computing device completely full of data.


You iPad may simply NOT have enough storage space available to keeps some apps from crashing.

Also, the 1st gen iPad Air 1, iPad Mini 2 and 3 ONLY have 1.0 GB of internal RAM, which, in this day and age is a very paltry amount of internal RAM.



See if any of this helps below, with the app crashing

Try all of these tips and leave each tip active together.

Do not simply try every tip individually, expecting just one tip to be a performance “cure all”.

Many of these tips are designed to work together to help improve overall iOS/iDevice performance.



Best of Luck to You!

Apple did NO such thing.


Among US is qualified to run on a much older iPads running iOS 10 and later.

All of you here need to contact the developers of Among Us.

If the Among Us app is crashing, this NOT and Apple issue, but an Among Us app issue.

Also, if many of you are trying to use this app with a nearly full of data iPad, this may not be helping your app issues.

Apps typically can crash when there is NOT enough available internal iPad data storage space left.
