The first thing you do when you find that an iPhone app keeps crashing is a “soft reset.” What this basically does is clears the memory by killing apps and gives you a head start. This is what you do to do a soft reset: Press the home and power buttons simultaneously. Firmly touch and hold the Spotify app icon then tap the minus sign (-) in a red circle. Alternatively, you can swipe up to close the app as soon as the minus sign appears. Give your app about 30 seconds or 1 minute to rest and then try opening Spotify again to see if it has stabilized.
- An issue with the Facebook SDK on Friday morning is causing dozens of iOS apps to crash.
- Facebook says that it is “aware and investigating an increase in errors on the iOS SDK which is causing some apps to crash.” No timeline has been offered for a fix.
- Some of the apps affected by the outage include Spotify, Tinder, Pinterest, and Venmo.
If, like me, you woke up Friday morning and discovered that half of your apps were crashing as soon as you opened them, don’t fret — it’s not just your iPhone. At around 7:00 a.m. ET on Friday, Facebook acknowledged “an increase in errors on the iOS SDK which is causing some apps to crash.” If an app uses your Facebook profile to log you in, chances are that you won’t be able to open it on your iPhone right now.
Spotify is useless, I can’t listen to my music because the app crashes every time I open it, after the newest update (v8.5.56). The app only works well during a few seconds and then, it closes. I don’t know if is the update or an iOS issue. Spotify also experienced issues this morning, leading many to think the app issue was linked to that. However, many discovered multiple apps crashing, including Facebook, Pinterest, TikTok, Tinder.
While I can open the Facebook app on my iPhone, a ton of other apps and games crash as soon as I tap on the icon, including Spotify, TikTok, Booksy, Venmo, Mario Kart Tour, Arena of Valor, and more. As DownDetector shows, there are a number of additional apps and services are being affected as well.
A similar disaster occurred in May, during which “a new release of Facebook included a change that triggered crashes for some users in some apps using the Facebook iOS SDK.” The time between the first and the final update regarding that issue was about two hours, so it might be a bit before our devices start acting normally.
Why Is My Spotify Crashing
As of 8:00 a.m., Facebook hasn’t provided any updates, but we’ll share them here as soon as we see them.
UPDATE 1: Still nothing from Facebook, but The Verge has revealed one (somewhat complicated) method you could use to get your apps working again, if you just can’t stand it any longer. If you download Lockdown Apps from the App Store, hit cancel when it asks you to sign in, and press the “Firewall on” button at the top of the app, you can set up a VPN profile on your iPhone. Once you’ve set it up, skip the trial and your apps should work again.
UPDATE 2: It’s 9:48 a.m. ET — nearly three hours after the issue was confirmed — and there still haven’t been any updates, but all of the apps that were giving me trouble this morning appear to be working again.
UPDATE 3: Facebook has finally fixed the problem, and provided the following note at around 10:30 a.m. ET: “Earlier today, a code change triggered crashes for some iOS apps using the Facebook SDK. Offline listening spotify free. We identified the issue quickly and resolved it. We apologize for any inconvenience.”
According to Down Detector, many users from around the world report about music streaming service Spotify being down and crashing. There are also reports of Pinterest and Viber services being down.

Tip has been shared by a Twitter user on how to launch the Spotify app:
If Spotify is crashing on your iPhone you can avoid the crash bug by launching it with your phone in airplane mode and Wi-Fi turned off. As soon as you re-enable Wi-Fi or 4G then it’ll crash again due to the Facebook iOS SDK issue
UPDATE: The reason behind multiple services being down or crashing is due to Facebook’s SDK. Facebook acknowledges the issue on its developer platform, here is what Facebook reports:
“We are aware and investigating an increase in errors on the iOS SDK which is causing some apps to crash.”
