My "smart"phone has started doing something weird today and I can't understand why
I was trying to open and reply to emails on my phone and it's started literally shutting gmail down when I try opening emails, will literally close it? I don't understand why it's randomly started doing that? I had to wait until I got home before responding to emails I've always had problems with it when I've had more than one email coming through together, opening a email causes it to crash - happens every time but this whole gmail closing itself down thing on my phone is something new ? |

Hey willowtigger,
Do you use the Gmail app, or are you using the browser on your phone? If it's the Gmail app: 1. Go into the Play store 2. Tap your profile pic on the top right 3. 'Manage apps and device' Check to see whether the Gmail app needs updating. If you're using the browser version, I'm not sure what's going on. __________________ 'Somewhere up above the great divide Where the sky is wide, and the clouds are few A man can see his way clear to the light 'You have all the grace you need for today, and today is all that matters.' - Steve Austin |

That would be the Gmail app.
Following the instructions I gave to check for updates will help you with this issue. __________________ 'Somewhere up above the great divide Where the sky is wide, and the clouds are few A man can see his way clear to the light 'You have all the grace you need for today, and today is all that matters.' - Steve Austin |

That's odd.
Could it be Firefox that needs updating? __________________ 'Somewhere up above the great divide Where the sky is wide, and the clouds are few A man can see his way clear to the light 'You have all the grace you need for today, and today is all that matters.' - Steve Austin |
