How to Fix KineMaster Not Working on Android 12, 13 or 14?
You must try all the solutions mentioned here, one after the other, until one solves your problem.
Restart your phone:
A simple fix that you can try is a restart. Most software issues can be fixed with a single restart of most electronic devices. And an Android phone is no exception.
- Press and hold the volume up + power button.
- You will see a restart button pop up on your screen. Tap on it and wait till the phone restarts itself.
Try the next solution if the restart does not solve your issue.
Clear the app from memory:
Sometimes restarting is not enough to eliminate simple software issues. You will have to clear from the recent apps menu. For that, drag from the bottom of the screen, and you will see the recent apps menu show up on your screen. Swipe the Kinemaster app from this list to remove it from memory. Once the app is removed from your memory, load it up again. Now, try using the application again.
If it still does not work correctly, try the next solution.
Force stop the application:
Android has the option to force-stop an application from the settings menu. It eliminates all possible instances of an application running in the foreground or background of the smartphone. This could help with your Kinemaster application issue as well.
- Open up Settings on your phone.
- Go to Apps.
- Find Kinemaster in the list of apps that show up. Once you find it, tap on it.
- Then tap on the Force Stop button. This will forcefully terminate the application entirely on your phone.
- Now open up the application again.
If it still does not work correctly, try the next solution.
Clear app cache:
The cache for every application is stored on a smartphone to ensure a fast and seamless experience. But if there is any issue with the cache data, that would also affect the app’s general functionality. Even with the Kinemaster application, that could be the issue. To fix this, you need to clear the app cache.
- Open up Settings on your phone.
- Go to Apps.
- Find Kinemaster in the list of apps that show up. Once you find it, tap on it.
- Then tap on Storage.
- Tap on Clear cache.
- Finally, tap on clear cache again to confirm your action.
Try the next solution if clearing the cache data does not fix your Kinemaster not working problem.
Clear app data:
Any application on an Android phone collects data over time. This contains information about login, usage, and more. If there is any inconsistency with the application data, that will affect the app’s general functionality as well. Even with the Kinemaster application, that could be the issue. To fix this, you need to clear the app data.
- Open up Settings on your phone.
- Go to Apps.
- Find Kinemaster in the list of apps that show up. Once you find it, tap on it.
- Then tap on Storage.
- Tap on Clear Data.
- Finally, tap on precise data again to confirm your action.
Try the next solution if clearing the cache data does not fix your Kinemaster not working problem.
Update the application:
If you are using an old version of Kinemaster and your phone is running on the latest version of Android provided by your OEM, the app might be incompatible with your OS. You need to update the application to the newest version to fix this.
- Open Google Play Store on your phone.
- Search for Kinemaster.
- Once it shows up in the results section, tap on it.
- Then tap on the app to open it up. You will see an update button next to it.
- Tap on the update button and wait till the installation is complete.
After the installation is complete, reopen the Kinemaster application. Try the next solution if you encounter sudden crashes and pauses even after this.
Reinstall the application:
Sometimes simply updating the application is not enough. You might need to uninstall or delete the app from your phone completely and then try installing it again on your phone.
- Open up Settings on your phone.
- Go to Apps.
- Find Kinemaster in the list of apps that show up. Once you find it, tap on it.
- Tap on Uninstall.
- Then tap on uninstall again to confirm your action.
- Wait till the uninstallation is complete. After that, restart your phone.
- After the restart, open Google Play Store on your phone.
- Search for Kinemaster.
- Once it shows up in the results section, tap on it.
- Then tap on the app to open it up. You will see an install button next to it.
- Tap on the install button and wait till the installation is complete.
If you encounter sudden crashes and pauses in the app even after this, try the next solution.
Factory reset your phone:
The next thing you can try is the factory reset. A factory reset clears up everything on your phone, and your phone boots up like it was when you first bought it. Remember to back up anything important to you before you go ahead with this process.
- Open up Settings on your phone.
- Go to System Settings.
- Tap on Back up and Reset.
- Go to Factory Reset.
- Tap on “Factory reset” to confirm your action.
The interface on your phone might be different. You will not find the factory reset option by following the abovementioned steps. But you can search for “Factory Reset” in the search bar of your Settings menu, and the option will appear in the results section.
If Kinemaster still does not work correctly, try the next solution.
Report to Google and Spotify:
If none of the above solutions worked for you, you should report to Kinemaster about this bug. They will respond to you or push out an update to fix the issue. Again, if it is a device-specific issue, they should also be able to help you with that.
