You might have probably restarted your device, closed and re-opened the app, or might’ve even cleared its data to fix the issue. As the last resort, you would’ve headed to Google’s Play Store and checked if there is an app update available and updating the app, in most cases had fixed the issue.

Wondering what it is?

Google has introduced a new feature that sends prompts to Samsung Galaxy devices to update the app if an app update is available. The prompt feature gets activated and sends the prompt to the device once it detects an app crash that has happened in the foreground.
