How to Handle iPhone Crashes
With its sleek design and a robust Operating Software (OS) iPhone has taken the smart phone market by storm. Apple products are known for setting benchmarks in quality and style which their competitors keep on chasing. Apple updates the iPhone firmware from time to time in order to add more functions to the device. These days an iPhone practically mimics a personal computer. However, due to the increased functionality, it faces some of the same problems that a computer faces. The list of issues is quite long but this article will focus on the most important one of them all.
There are many reasons for these crashes to occur. One of the most common reason is the Apple operating software update itself. Sometimes the new update causes conflicts with some settings and Applications and causes the iPhone to crash. iPhone viruses are to blame for the crashes as well. As there is no software currently available to scan the iPhone for viruses, so virus issue remains a threat. Similarly there can be other reasons as well such as Application overloading and memory overloading that can cause the iPhone to crash.
There are actually many different types of crashes that can happen in an iPhone so it’s important to know what to do in a situation like that.

Application crashes without starting
You tap any application icon once in order to open it. However, instead of loading, the application closes immediately and the device returns to the home screen. As its common in the windows operating system that once the application crashes, it takes the operating system down with it too. However, there is a very easy solution to this problem in iPhone. You just have to reboot the device once that has happened. Hold the power button (the one at the top of the phone) till a pop up appears that displays “swipe to turn off”.
Restart the phone and the problem will be solved.

Application crashes while its open
Application may sometimes freeze while it is open. There is a simpler solution to this crash than the last problem. Hold the home button for 6 seconds straight till it returns the home screen. This step actually kills the application, and will cause the application to lose any unsaved data.

Whole phone freezes
The most annoying of the crashes is when the iPhone freezes completely and pressing power/ home button does nothing. The solution for this problem is to press both the power and home buttons simultaneously till your iPhone restarts. This step is equivalent to pulling the power cord from a personal computer and this step should not be used regularly as it may damage the phone permanently.
