Being one of the widely used browsers, Chrome is always our rescue whenever vital information is our need. Imagine, you launched Chrome for some urgent work and all of a sudden, got “Unfortunately Chrome has stopped” error. You re-opened it thinking about the proper functioning of it now but to no avail. Does this situation sound familiar? Are you in the same problem as well? Fret not! Here, in this guide, we have covered various methods to fix when Google Chrome has stopped error on Galaxy A50 in very simple steps.
Problems on app crashes are usually tied to corrupted files and data from within the errant app. But in some cases, an app can become a bit shaky due to other factors including faulty updates, invalid settings, system bugs, and malware. Generally, the main issue is from within the software structure and is therefore rectifiable. Among the most prevalent app issues emerging in various types of Android devices are the ones that are depicted by the “Unfortunately, app has stopped” error prompt.
Many people have encountered this error while using stock apps including Camera, Phone, Messaging, and the like. It also happens to third-party or downloaded apps including browser apps like Chrome, Internet, Facebook, and Twitter, to name some. Tackled in this post is the same error transpiring on the Galaxy A50 Chrome application. You may refer to this troubleshooting guide whenever you deal with the same issue on Chrome app crashes, particularly the ones depicted by the “Unfortunately, Chrome has stopped” error prompt.
To explain, an app runs on multiple resources which include a processor, memory, RAM, and other components that collectively make the application work. However, in the case when the app has issues or bugs or even minor glitches, it may not open and that is what introduces app crashes since Chrome will crash with the same message aforementioned. However, when it comes to Google Chrome, its developers are actively participating in fixing every major and minor bug or glitch that can become an obstacle between the user and his task which could be surfing, browsing, watching videos, etc.
