Google Maps is crashing for people after a recent update, fix it by uninstalling updates

The app was crashing instantly on a family member’s phone, and looking up the problem got me a lot of recent posts about the issue.

Fix:

  1. Go to the play store and find the app, either by searching for it, using the installed apps list, or this link: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.…
  2. It should have a button for “Uninstall”, with a note about only uninstalling updates as it is a system app
  3. Select uninstall, and then open the app

You may also need to disable automatic updates for the app until this gets fixed.

  1. Repeat the first step to open the app page
  2. Tap the 3 dot menu
  3. Uncheck “Enable Auto Update”

If you are still experiencing issues, consider using Organic Maps in the meantime. It works just as well as Google Maps for a lot of tasks, and it uses OSM data

organicmaps.app

If you want to help update the data, see this other app StreetComplete

Even if you aren’t experiencing issues (yet), install organic maps anyways
