Twitter's latest version is crashing for most Android app users.
The apps on our mobile devices can run smoothly only if they are timely updated to their latest versions. Otherwise, the same apps fail to perform better & not offer the newest features to us. To get our hands to the latest updates or features, all the apps always prompt us with a notification to update to their latest versions & Twitter recently did the same by upgrading it to their 8.28 version. However, following the update, the response the app got for the Android app was negative as it was noticed by most users that the app crashed immediately after updating it.
Twitter’s 8.28 version crashed for most Android users. The company noticed the bug & addressed the users regarding the same on their Twitter handle. They warned the Android users by stating, "We’re investigating a problem with the latest version of our Android app that causes it to crash immediately once it’s opened. If you use Twitter for Android, we suggest not updating it until we let you know it's fixed. Sorry for the inconvenience!"
The company also alerted the users that they should avoid updating the app to the latest version for now & wait for the company to fix this issue. Twitter will roll out the fresh update soon & till then the users can continue using the older version.
For avoiding the app to get auto-updated, users can switch off the same or else it may get updated to the latest version causing the app to crash. Users can anytime manually get the latest version updated from Google Play Store.
For switching off the auto-updates, users can go to Google Play Store & head to Settings, then tap on the Auto-Update Apps tab & select the ‘Don’t Auto-Update Apps’ option. However, this will also stop other apps from auto-updating.
In case you are already facing the crash bug, you can clear the cache from the app & will have to reset all your data. For this, you will have to sign-in again & make the custom settings. You can do this through Google Play Store & tapping on the Device Settings, then pressing the Apps tab & clicking on Twitter. Lastly, clear the storage & cache by clicking the Storage and Cache option.
