Part 1. Why Does An App Keep Crashing on iOS 17/16

Here are some reasons why an app on iOS 17/16 keeps crashing:

  • There may have been some compatibility issues between the new iOS and existing apps: Before upgrading, it's always a good idea to check all the apps that you plan on using and see if their new features will work with the new iOS version. If you do find some compatibility issues, you can send feedback to the app's developer explaining the problem you encountered.
  • iOS 15.4/16 Bug: There may have been some bugs in the new iOS 15.4/16 that need to be fixed by developers.

Question: Does Deleting An App Delete All The Data

The answer to this question all depends on the specific app. If the app stores the data to the server, data may still be saved. However, if the app does not do this then data stored on the device will be lost. Many apps, like Facebook, allow you to sign back into Facebook from a different device, keeping all your old posts and status updates. Other apps may delete all of your data when you delete the app.
