One of the things that annoys us the most when we use a mobile is that apps run slow, crash, or won’t even open. It is a regret that occurs not only in cheap phones with more limited performance, but it can even happen in the most high-end phones.
So Android has implemented a solution, which had been previously rumored. It is also very simple, since we will not have to do anything, since the system will be able to detect the malfunction of an application and, if there is a more recent version, update it.
Updating apps is still the best way to fix their failures

In the same way that Google Play already warns us if an app is not working well before installing it, the system will now also be able to warn us when the malfunctioning app is already installed and a visible error occurs. Be via a pop-up notification that will allow us to update it quicklywhich obviously will only happen if the app in question has a newer version available on Google Play.
This measure is implemented because, as we have seen for years, the majority of sudden problems that occur in applications are not due to the mobile hardware running them, but to poor optimization by these apps. As a rule, these are errors that are resolved quickly, but always (or almost always) with a new version of the application that requires updating it.
On the part of the Android developers, they also claim that they will improve this system based on three fundamental points: the level of user activity according to the statistics collected by Vitals, the rate of blocking in the foreground of the application in question (and its latest version). recent), as well as the number of times the user encounters the review and ignores its update.
Finally, to say that it is a feature that It begins to be implemented on mobile phones and tablets with Android 7.0 or later. So, it is possible that the next time you find a malfunctioning application, this warning will appear directly and you can fix the problem with a quick update.
