Exchanging snaps with your friends allow you to share precious memories. But that could be hindered if your Snapchat keeps crashing on iPhone 12. This post will provide basic troubleshooting guides intended to address the crashing issue with Snapchat as reported by iPhone 12 users.
How to Fix iPhone 12 with Snapchat that Keeps Crashing
When you use an app, you will experience several issues along the way. One of the most common problems that an app may give you is the crashing issue. This is due to glitches and bugs that may accumulate throughout the app usage. A bad internet connection may also contribute for relevant symptoms to occur.
If you are one of those with Snapchat keeps crashing on iPhone 12, then you got the right avenue as this article will provide you some solutions listed below.
First Solution: Force Close Background Apps on your iPhone 12
Whenever you use the Snapchat app and would only swipe up to close it, it will run in the background. That may accumulate some glitch while kept in idle mode, causing it to crash whenever it’s time to use it. Closing the background apps will also eliminate the possibility of app conflicts that contributes to the crashing of Snapchat on your iPhone 12.
- Swipe your finger up and then pause from the Home screen.
- Swipe left or right to navigate through the apps preview.
- Then swipe up on each app’s preview to close individual background apps.
Once apps are force closed, open Snapchat and test if it still crashes or not anymore.
Second Solution: Reset your iPhone 12
Refreshing your phone’s system quickly can be done by simply rebooting the device. Performing a reset could eliminate the crashing issue with your Snapchat app in an instant. Doing so will improve the phone’s performance and may aid in resolving the problem right away.
- Press and hold the Power/Side button and either of the Volume buttons simultaneously for a few seconds.
- Release both buttons once the Slide to Power off prompt appears on the screen.
- Drag the Power off slider to the right to turn off your phone.
- After 30 seconds, press and hold the Power/Side button again until you see the Apple logo.
Once the phone has fully restarted, make sure that is connected to an internet connection and then check if Snapchat still crashes constantly.
Third Solution: Update the Apps on your iPhone 12
Having outdated app versions on your iPhone can cause conflicts with other working apps and may have been the reason why Snapchat keeps crashing on your device. Updating the apps should be done regularly as the updates contain necessary patches that could resolve several app-related problems in an instant.
- From the Home screen, tap on App Store to open it.
- Tap on Today tab at the bottom-left corner.

- You should see the account details.
- Scroll down to the Available Updates section.
- Tap on Update next to the app to update individual apps.
- Tap on Update All to update all apps simultaneously.
Once app updates are installed, reset your device and check if the issue has been rectified.

Misconfigured network settings like WiFi and VPNs could also contribute to app crashes. Having the right network configuration plays an important role for online services like Snapchat to work properly. Performing a reset network settings procedure would eliminate those invalid configurations and revert them to their default values and options while keeping your personal information safe and intact.
- Access Settings from the Home screen.

If the problem has been due to corrupted files within the app, it would be difficult to rectify it without deleting the app files fully on your device. Your way to do that is to uninstall the app and reinstall it again. Doing so will refresh the files and replace the old data with a new one.

If the issue persists up to this point, this may have been interconnected with other factors such as conflicts with other apps or a software glitch. The other way to rectify that is to wipe out everything on your device through a factory reset.
Since it will delete every contents on your iPhone 12, I recommend that you create a backup first. To create a backup via iTunes:
