Tab S5e Instagram keeps crashing fix #1: Close and restart Instagram

Many app-specific issues are easily fixable by simply closing the app itself. If your Galaxy Tab S5e Instagram keeps crashing, make sure that you force close the app first. There are two easy ways to close a running app. Let’s check out each of them.

1. On your screen, tap the Recent Apps soft key (the one with three vertical lines on the left of the Home button).
2. Once the Recent Apps screen is shown, swipe left or right to look for the Instagram app. It should be here if you managed to run it previously. Then, swipe up on the app to close it. This should force close it. If it’s not there, simply tap the Close All app to also restart all apps.

Another way to force close an app is this:

To ensure that you phone runs efficiently and the cache in top shape, you want to regularly clear the cache partition (about once every few months).

1. Turn off the device.
2. Press and hold the Volume Up key and the Bixby key, then press and hold the Power key.

Other apps may sometimes interfere with Android and with other apps. To check if that’s the case, restart the phone to safe mode. Here’s how to do that:

5. Upon reboot, “Safe mode” appears in the lower-left of the home screen.

Remember that third-party applications are disabled in this mode so what you can use are pre-installed apps. If the touchscreen issue won’t appear on safe mode, that means that the problem is due to a bad app. Uninstall the app you recently installed and see if that will fix it. If the problem remains, use the process of elimination to identify the rogue app. Here’s how:

1. Boot to safe mode.
2. Check for the problem.
3. Once you’ve confirmed that a third party app is to blame, you can start uninstalling apps individually. We suggest that you begin with the most recent ones you added.

5. If your Galaxy Tab S5e is still problematic, repeat steps 1-4.
