There is no worse feeling than using an app and suddenly it closes for no reason. Often this is due to a “bug” that prevents the application from working, and at that time the operating system decides to forcefully close it.

Android solution to crashing apps
Fortunately, Google has just found a solution, and what’s interesting is that it’s easier than you think. The new function, announced on the Android Developers Blog, allows to display automatic notifications to update our applications in case of failure.
If an application has a problem and closes, Android may display a pop-up window that will inform us of the situation and will check for available updates for the app in the play store. It often happens that the “bug” we found has already been fixed in an update, but we haven’t installed it yet and we continue to use a “bugged” version of the application.
This is a problem because Google Play does not immediately update apps as soon as there is an update; so it is very common to use an older version of the app, which may have bugs. Now, if an application fails, Google Play will check if there is an update that we can install and offer to install it automatically at the touch of a button.
The advantage of this novelty is that nobody has to do anything to activate it: neither the developers nor the users. Google will automatically activate it in Google Play and it will be the store that will be responsible for checking if there are new versions of the applications that give errors.
All Android phones from system version 7.0 are compatible with this function, so the vast majority of users will be able to take advantage of it. If you usually use applications that are constantly under development or are very new, this function will be very useful for you and remember, you will not have to do anything.
