Why is my Twitter app closing?
Table of contents:
Have you had problems with the official Twitter application for Android in the last few hours? If so, stop checking your phone and looking for desperate solutions: it's not you. As some users have detected and confirmed by the support of the application itself, the latest update of Twitter for Android has a bug that causes the application to automatically block itself as soon as it startsApplication support has detected the bug and is trying to fix it.
Although today it is rare for an application to have such a big bug, the truth is that more than once the release of an update has had to be aborted due to various errors. The latest update of the official Twitter app for Android, version 8.28, has a bug that causes the app to open a little second and then crash This update was released late yesterday, so it's very possible that you don't have it installed yet.
What do I do if Twitter doesn't work for me?
As we said, the version that has the problem is 8.28. If you haven't installed it yet, it's best to enter the Google Play Store and disable automatic updates.
To do it you only have to enter the Play Store and touch the three bars in the upper left.Go to Settings and look for the option “Automatically update applications”. On the next screen you must select “Do not update applications automatically”. In this way, Twitter will not be updated without your knowledge.
If you've already updated it, it seems that there is a way to fix the problem. You will have to go to the mobile settings screen and look for the Applications option (or similar). That is, the screen where all installed applications appear.
Once on this screen, look for Twitter and select it. Enter Storage and delete both the data and the cache of the application The screenshots you have on these lines are from a Samsung mobile, but if you have another mark they should be very similar.
Deleting this data will cause you to lose application settings for dark mode and autoplay videos, but at least the Twitter application will work again for you.
The Twitter support account ensures that they are aware of the existence of the problem and that are working to fix it as soon as possible. And, of course, they suggest not updating the application until they consider this problem solved.
