Google app crashing after new update; here's how to fix - 9to5Google

Following the latest update, the Google app, Podcasts, and Lens are repeatedly crashing, while Assistant is also unavailable.

Users across Google Pixel, Samsung, and Motorola phones are affected.

After updating to version 12.23.16.23 of the Google app, users are seeing the application repeatedly crash every few minutes without any input.

The Google app 12.24 beta just rolled out a few hours ago, and some users say updating to it provides a fix for the crashes

You can sign up for the Google app beta here (or via the Play Store listing) and check for updates to start downloading

That beta route might be the least destructive solution as the alternative is uninstalling the bad update and reverting to the Google app version that first came with your device:

Be warned that the above process will require you to set up Google Assistant again on your phone and that downloaded episodes in Podcasts will be deleted

If you choose this path, do not update the Google app until a fixed version has been released as you’ll just encounter the same problem all over again
