If the Internet app on your vivo S50 keeps crashing, closing suddenly, or freezing while browsing, it can interrupt your work and make simple tasks frustrating. Sometimes the app shuts down as soon as you open it. In most cases, the problem is related to corrupted cache files, outdated software, or temporary system conflicts, and you can fix it in just a few minutes.
Why the Internet App Keeps Crashing on Your vivo S50
- The app cache is corrupted or overloaded.
- The browser app needs an update.
- Too many background apps are consuming memory.
- A recent software update caused temporary instability.
- The internet connection is unstable or switching networks.
1. Force Stop the Internet App
Force stopping the app closes all background processes that may be causing it to crash. This refreshes the app without deleting any personal data.
Open Settings, and then tap Apps.
Find and tap Internet, and then tap Force stop.
Open the Internet app again and check if it still crashes.
2. Clear the App Cache
Cache files help the browser load pages faster, but corrupted cache can cause frequent crashes. Clearing it removes temporary files without deleting bookmarks or saved data.
Open Settings, and then tap Apps.
Tap Internet, and then tap Storage.
Tap Clear cache, and then reopen the app.
3. Check for App Updates
Outdated versions of the browser may contain bugs that cause instability. Updating the app installs performance improvements and crash fixes.
Open the Google Play Store, and then tap your profile icon.
Tap Manage apps and device, and then check for updates.
Find the Internet app in the list, and then tap Update if available.
4. Restart Your Phone
A simple restart clears temporary memory conflicts that can affect apps. It also refreshes system processes running in the background.
Press and hold the Power button, and then tap Restart.
Wait for the device to boot completely, and then open the Internet app again.
5. Check Your Internet Connection
An unstable network can cause the browser to freeze or close unexpectedly. Switching between Wi-Fi and mobile data helps determine if the issue is network-related.
Open Settings, and then tap Wi-Fi.
Turn Wi-Fi off, and then enable Mobile data from the same Settings menu.
Try browsing again to see if the problem continues.
6. Reset App Preferences
If the browser still crashes, some system app settings may be conflicting with it. Resetting app preferences restores default permissions without deleting your data.
Open Settings, and then tap Apps.
Tap the three-dot menu, and then tap Reset app preferences.
Confirm the action, and then test the Internet app again.
Frequent browser crashes on the vivo S50 are usually caused by minor software issues. Once you clear the cache, update the app, or refresh the system, the Internet app should run smoothly again.
FAQs
Why does the Internet app crash when opening certain websites?
Some websites use heavy scripts or unsupported features that can overload the browser. Clearing cache or updating the app often resolves this.
Will clearing the cache delete my saved passwords?
No. Clearing the cache only removes temporary files. Saved passwords and bookmarks remain intact.
Should I reinstall the Internet app if it keeps crashing?
If all other steps fail, uninstalling updates or reinstalling the app can help. This ensures you are running a clean version without corrupted files.
