Quick Fixes (Try These First)
| Fix | Action & Rationale |
|---|---|
| 1. Update the App | Ensure you have the latest version from the app store. New updates frequently contain stability fixes and bug patches. The quickest way to ensure a clean install is to uninstall and then reinstall the app. |
| 2. Restart the App | Close the app completely (swipe it away from the recent apps view) and then reopen it. This helps clear temporary conflicts that may be causing the crash. |
| 3. Restart Your Device | A simple device restart can resolve underlying conflicts. Power off your phone or tablet, wait a few seconds, and turn it back on. |
Device Optimization Checks
These steps help ensure your device is running optimally for the app.
- Check Storage Space: Insufficient free storage often leads to app instability and crashes. Verify you have ample free space on your device. Delete any unnecessary files, media, or old apps.
- If you are connected to a VPN try disconnecting as that can sometimes cause the app to crash
- Clear App Cache (Android Only): If you are using an Android device, clearing the app's cache can resolve data-related conflicts. Go to Settings $\rightarrow$ Apps or Application Manager, find the Vida app, and tap Clear Cache.
