Hi there! I see you're having issues with Words With Friends crashing and loading very slowly on your Android device using a WebKit browser. Let’s work through this together and get you back to playing smoothly.
First, can you tell me a bit more about when it crashes or loads slowly? For example, does it happen right after opening the app, during certain actions, or randomly? Also, have you tried any fixes so far like restarting your device or clearing cache?
Meanwhile, here are some helpful steps to try, starting with the simpler ones:
1. Clear the app cache: Because you’re on Android 9 and using a WebKit-based browser, clearing cache can help remove temporary files that might cause slow loading or crashes. Go to Settings > Apps > Words With Friends > Storage, then tap Clear Cache.
2. Restart your device: A fresh restart can clear out background processes that might be slowing down your device or the app.
3. Close other background apps: Running many apps at once can strain the device’s memory and cause crashes or slow response times. Close unnecessary apps.
4. Check for updates: Make sure your Android OS and the Words With Friends app (if installed) are fully updated. Updates often resolve bugs.
5. Force stop and relaunch the app: Go to Settings > Apps > Words With Friends, tap Force Stop, then open the app again.
6. Reinstall the app (if you are using the app itself, not just the browser): Uninstall Words With Friends, then reinstall it from the Google Play Store to clear any corrupted files that might be causing the crash.
Because you mentioned using WebKit browser, if you are playing through the browser instead of the app, try clearing the browser’s cache and cookies as well:
- Go to your browser’s Settings > Privacy > Clear Browsing Data, select cache and cookies, and clear them.
If the problem persists after these steps, it may be an issue on the server side or related to connectivity, so please let me know about your internet connection too—are you on Wi-Fi or mobile data? Sometimes switching networks or resetting your router can help.
Let me know how these steps go or if you’ve already tried some of them! We can then dig a bit deeper if needed.
