You'll also learn which settings you should check first, how to clear the cache without losing data, and what to do if the problem persists even after reinstalling the app. Some solutions require just a couple of clicks, others require deeper system configuration. Let's start with the simplest.

1. Not enough random access memory (RAM)

Androiddevices with 2 GB RAM or less often face the problem Avito crashes when scrolling the feed or opening advertisements. The reason is simple: the application actively uses memory to load images, videos and chat data.

• 💾 Damaged flash memory (bad blocks lead to application crashes).
• 🔋 Faulty battery (when discharged below 15% the phone can forcefully close apps).
• 📡 Problems with the Wi-Fi/4G module (lead to connection failure and crashes).

How to diagnose:

• 🛠️ Check the memory through AIDA64 (section Memory → Read/write test).
• 🔋 Replace the battery if the phone turns off when 20–30% charged.
• 📡 Test the network on another device (if Wi-Fi lags everywhere - the problem is in the router).
