# App Crashes & Persistent Glitches

An app closing unexpectedly is considered a crash. While some glitches are random and temporary, recurring issues will require troubleshooting.

There are two main things you can try.

***

#### Reset or Reduce Memory

A memory warning can appear when your iPad is running low on available memory (RAM) while trying to perform a task. It doesn’t mean something is broken — it’s just the system’s way of saying it’s getting overloaded and needs to free up space to keep things running smoothly.

Our app uses multiple processes for taking, editing, and uploading photos, all of which require a fair amount of memory. Try these steps:

* [Close other apps](https://support.apple.com/109359) running in the background
* [Restart your iPad](https://support.apple.com/101603)

If the issue continues, try disabling certain effects (like glam, filters, or participant editing tools) to reduce processing demands.

#### Reinstall the App

Sometimes small bugs can pop up after updates or changes. Reinstalling the app gives it a fresh start and often clears things up.
