Users who operate Android experience the frequent occurrence of the error message “Unfortunately, App/Facebook has stopped”. This annoying system error appears for many different causes including software problems and outdated software applications together with corrupted cache data files and storage capacity limitations. The available solutions provide effective methods to handle this error successfully.

1) Restart Your Phone

 Facebook has Stopped error

A basic restart of your device might resolve the error because minor glitches tend to cause it. You can resolve the error by selecting Restart through the power button menu. The problem should be evaluated after the device finishes restarting.

2) Clear App Cache and Data

 Facebook has Stopped error

Users can fix this error through clearing both the data and cache files in the problematic application. Launch the Settings followed by Apps then choose Facebook or the specific problematic app to access Storage & cache from the menu. Tap on Clear Cache first and then select Clear Data. The data deletion process requires your account to log out from the app therefore have all your login information ready before proceeding.

3) Update the App

 Facebook has Stopped error

Your device will experience operating system compatibility issues if you operate outdated apps. Locate the Facebook app in the Google Play Store to verify whether an update exists. The latest version update can be installed by tapping on Update.

4) Reinstall the App

Failure of the app update requires you to uninstall then reinstall the app. Access Settings then navigate to Apps where you should select Facebook and tap on Uninstall before reinstalling the app from Google Play Store. Files corrupted by errors can be removed when following this approach to fix the problem.

5) Free Up Device Storage

Estimates of at least 500MB free storage space prevent device applications from breaking down. You need to verify your device maintains at least 500MB of empty storage. Clear unneeded files from your device and place your data in cloud storage to gain more storage capacity.

6) Update Android System WebView

Update Android System WebView because various applications depend on this system component for web content display. A system component of Android System WebView will create app crashes when it remains outdated. Users can find Android System WebView in the Google Play Store by searching to check for updates and then select the Update option if available.

7) Check App Permissions

The app needs particular permissions for suitable functioning yet these permissions might not be active. Verify all necessary permissions for Facebook by navigating to Settings > Apps > Facebook > Permissions.

Final Thoughts

The “Unfortunately, App/Facebook has stopped” error can be solved through the suggested troubleshooting procedures. Keeping your applications updated alongside proper maintenance of storage space will reduce the risk of encountering such problems again.

      And touch on clear data .
      And force stop it.
      If it doesn’t work.. just diable or uninstall it.

  5. An app can stop working if permissions are denied for it. This happens sometimes unintentionally or it is done by the anti virus/security apps. Another option to fix unfortunately app stopped is go to Settings -> Applications -> Application Manager -> Select More options menu -> Select Change System Settings option -> Enable the permissions for the app which has stopped working. Now go to menu and the app and it will open. Try this for the default system apps if there is an unfortunately app stopped error. This should work for Samsung galaxy phones but cannot say the same about other phones. Try it once though if you don’t want to do the factory data reset option.
