How to Fix Audible Keeps Crashing on iOS/Android

Part 1. How to Fix Audible App Keeps Crashing

To fix this, try updating the app, clearing its data, and making sure your device's software is up-to-date. If problems persist, you might need a AA/AAX Audible audiobooks converter to convert the format into a more usable one, like MP3.

1. Force Stop Audible App

Forcing stop the Audible app that keeps crashing stops the app's current processes and allows you to start it fresh. If the Audible app is acting up, try force stopping it before reopening.

For iOS:

1. From the Home Screen, swipe up or double-click the Home button to access all app previews.

2. Tap "Force Stop."
3. Afterward, restart the Audible app to check if the problem persists.

2. Restart the Phone

A simple device restart can clear temporary glitches and refresh system resources. Restarting your iPhone or Android phone closes all running processes and starts fresh. Whenever you encounter issues, try restarting your device first.

For Android and iPhone:

1. Press and hold the side/top button until the power-off slider appears.
2. Swipe the slider to the right to power off the device.
3. Wait for a few seconds for the screen to go black.
4. Hold the side/top button to restart the device.
5. After the device reboots, restart the Audible app.

2. Find and tap on "Audible."
3. Tap "Storage" or "Storage & Cache."

6. Update the iOS/Android OS

Outdated operating systems can lead to the Audible app compatibility problems. Updating your device's OS can resolve such issues. OS updates often include bug fixes and improved app compatibility. Please ensure your device's OS is up to date. If not, update it by following these steps:

For iOS:

1. Go to Settings > General > Software Update.

2. In the search bar, enter "Audible" and tap "Update."

For Android:

1. From the Home Screen, open the Google Play Store.
