Hi there! Thanks for reaching out about the Age of Magic app crashing after updating your iPhone to iOS 26.5. That sounds inconvenient. Just to clarify, when you open the game, does it crash immediately or after a few seconds? Also, have you tried any troubleshooting steps like restarting your device or reinstalling the app yet?

While you give me those details, I can share some initial steps that often help with app crashes after iOS updates:

1. Restart your iPhone completely to refresh any temporary system glitches.
2. Force close the Age of Magic app (swipe it away from the app switcher) and relaunch it.
3. Make sure Age of Magic is updated to the latest version available in the App Store.
4. Check your iPhone's available storage space—low storage can cause crashes.
5. If the problem persists, try uninstalling and reinstalling Age of Magic. This can clear corrupted app data.
6. Lastly, some users have reported temporarily switching the device's system language to another language and then back to English can bypass certain crashes, although this is more of a workaround than a fix.

If you've already done some of these, please let me know which ones so we don't repeat. Also, if you have a stable internet connection (Wi-Fi preferred), that usually helps the app run smoothly after an update.

If these steps don’t help, the issue might be related to iOS 26.5 compatibility specifically affecting certain games. In that case, waiting for a patch update from the game developers or from Apple might be necessary.

Let me know how it goes, and I’ll be here to assist further! Are you able to try any of these steps now?

Thanks for clarifying that Age of Magic crashes after a few seconds on your iPhone with iOS 18.7. Let's take a more targeted approach here, considering your device and crash timing.

Since the crash happens shortly into app startup, and you've just updated iOS, this can sometimes be related to cached data or conflicts with other background apps.

Here’s what I suggest you try next:

1. Clear Cache and Background Apps:
- Double-click the Home button (or swipe up from the bottom if your iPhone has no Home button) to open the app switcher.
- Swipe up on all apps to close them. This frees up system resources that might interfere with Age of Magic.

2. Offload and Reinstall the App:
On iOS, offloading removes the app but keeps its data, which can fix corrupted app files without losing your progress. Here’s how:
- Go to Settings > General > iPhone Storage.
- Find Age of Magic in the list and tap it.
- Tap Offload App. After it offloads, tap Reinstall App.
This refreshes the app’s core files and can fix issues without deleting your saved data.

3. Check Network Connection:
A poor or unstable internet connection can sometimes cause startup crashes in online games. Make sure you're on a stable Wi-Fi or try switching to data to rule out network issues.

4. Restart Your iPhone:
After the above steps, perform a full restart of your iPhone. This ensures any system-level glitches are reset.

If after all that the game still crashes, it might be a compatibility issue with iOS 18.7 that the developers need to address. I can also check if others are reporting similar crashes recently from our latest support insights.

Meanwhile, would you be able to share if these steps helped or if you noticed any specific error messages? That can give me more clues to assist further!

Are you ready to try these steps now?

Thanks for pointing that out! Just to clarify, iOS version 26.5 is the latest update for your iPhone's operating system, correct? Regarding your question about Age of Magic app version 26.5 features, I wasn’t able to find specific details about an Age of Magic app update version 26.5 from the App Store or official sources. It seems the "26.5" you referred to is actually the iOS version number, not the game's version.

The Age of Magic app itself is regularly updated with hero additions, events, and optimizations, but its version numbers are separate from iOS updates.

If your game crashes after you updated your iPhone to iOS 26.5, the issue likely relates to compatibility between the current game version and the new iOS. As I mentioned before, here are good next steps you can try specifically on iOS 26.5:

1. Offload and reinstall Age of Magic from your iPhone Storage settings to refresh the app files without losing data.
2. Verify you have the latest Age of Magic version in the App Store by going to App Store > Updates.
3. Ensure your iPhone has a stable internet connection, ideally Wi-Fi, when launching the game.
4. Restart the device after these steps to clear temporary system cache.

If the crashes continue, it might be a known compatibility issue with iOS 26.5 that requires a game patch from the developers. I’d recommend also checking Age of Magic’s support channels for any announcements about iOS 26.5 compatibility fixes.

If you want, I can help you step-by-step with offloading and reinstalling the app or checking update status. How would you like to proceed?

Thank you for letting me know you've already tried all the usual troubleshooting steps. Since the Age of Magic app is still crashing shortly after startup on your iPhone running iOS 26.5 despite offloading, reinstalling, restarting, and ensuring a good connection, we can explore a few more options.

Here’s what I recommend next:

1. Check Device Storage and Memory Usage Again
Even if you checked storage earlier, sometimes system cache or memory fragmentation can cause crashes. Try closing all other background apps again and ensure you have at least 1-2 GB of free storage space available.

2. Reset Network Settings
Sometimes network settings corruption can cause instability with online games. On your iPhone, go to:
Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Note this will erase saved Wi-Fi passwords, so make sure you know them before doing this.

3. Temporary Workaround: Disable Background App Refresh
Go to Settings > General > Background App Refresh and turn it off for Age of Magic. This sometimes reduces crashes related to conflicts from background processes.

4. Review Age of Magic Support and Latest Updates
According to Age of Magic’s official help center, some iOS updates may cause compatibility issues that require a game patch1. It’s a good idea to keep an eye on their announcements or reach out directly to their support at [email protected] if the issue persists despite these steps.

5. Try Launching the Game While in Airplane Mode
This can help identify if it's a network or server connection issue causing the crash. Launch the game with Airplane Mode on, then re-enable Wi-Fi to check if it works more stably.

6. Provide Crash Logs or Error Messages (if any)
If the app crashes again, see if there is any error prompt or crash report from iOS that you can share. This info can help diagnose the problem further.

If none of these work, the problem might be server-side or due to incompatibility between this iOS release and the game’s current build. In that case, the game developers will need to release an update to fix it.

Please let me know if you’d like help walking through any of these additional steps, or if you have specific error messages or details from the crashes. I’m here to help!

Are you satisfied with this guidance, or do you want me to escalate it further to the game support team?

Let me guide you through some effective troubleshooting steps tailored for your situation, combining best practices from official support and community insight:

1. Verify Game and iOS Versions
- Make sure your iPhone is updated to the latest iOS 18.7 version (which you have), and that Age of Magic is updated to the latest available version in the App Store. Developers often release patches addressing crashes and compatibility issues after major iOS updates.

2. Force Close and Restart
- Double-tap the Home button or swipe up (depending on your model) to open the app switcher. Swipe up on Age of Magic to force close it.
- Restart your iPhone by powering it off and then on again. This helps clear temporary issues that might cause crashes.

3. Offload and Reinstall the Game

- Tap Offload App to remove the app but keep its data, then Reinstall App to download a fresh copy. This can fix corrupted files without losing your progress.

4. Clear Background Apps and Free Up Resources
- Close other apps running in the background to free memory and processing power. Games like Age of Magic can be sensitive to low device resources.

5. Check Network Connection
- Age of Magic requires a stable internet connection. Test your Wi-Fi or mobile data connection, and try switching between them if one seems unstable.
- You can also try launching the game with Airplane Mode enabled, then turn Wi-Fi back on to isolate network issues.

6. Disable Background Refresh for Age of Magic
- Sometimes background refresh conflicts can cause crashes. Go to Settings > General > Background App Refresh and disable it for Age of Magic.

7. Reset Network Settings (if crashes persist)
- Resetting network settings can fix network-related glitches: Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note this deletes saved Wi-Fi passwords.

8. Review Official Support and Community Channels
- Visit the Age of Magic Help Center for iOS-related troubleshooting: Playkot Helpshift.
- Engage with the community on Reddit or Facebook for shared experiences and potential workarounds: r/ageofmagic and Age of Magic Facebook.
- If nothing works, contact Age of Magic support directly via their in-game help button or email [email protected] for personalized assistance.

9. Watch Video Guides for Visual Help
- Helpful tutorials exist showing fixes for Age of Magic app not working on iOS: examples include YouTube videos like “How To Fix Age of Magic App Not Working” which walk you through steps visually.

Given all these options, if you still encounter crashes after trying them, it is likely an issue requiring a game update to fully resolve on iOS 18.7. The developers monitor such problems actively.
