Apps closing by themselves on Samsung S8 after 3/24 update

After the most recent update, any app that i am using(doesn't matter which one) will close suddenly all by itself. Not sure why this is happening but would love answers from Verizon or the community.

Are other S8 users experiencing this same issue? Any solutions?

MICPET41,

This certainly isn't the experience we want for you to have when it comes to your S8. When did you do the update? How quickly would you say the apps close? Also, have you updated all of the apps themselves through the Play Store?

As my post stated, I updated on 3/24 when Verizon set a push notification to do a system update.. Update: G950USQS7DTB3.

As far as apps closing unexpectedly, this happens anywhere from 15 to 60 seconds, It happens in texting and email apps as typing but also happens with other installed apps while I am reading news, etc...

All apps are updated. I have play store set to update automatically. So even with all apps updated this continues to happen.. Very frustrating.

Sorry for the delay but these times are a taxing

If the software update is the problem this is the best step to take. The Software Repair will allow you to keep your personal content on the phone without having everything erased during this process. Keep us posted.
