The Amazon app is pretty useful, and when it doesn’t work properly, you might miss out on a lot, especially when you are busy and love the idea of shopping from home.
If you find your Amazon app crashing or displaying errors–you can do something to troubleshoot the problem yourself so that the app starts to run again smoothly.
Let’s read about how you can bring the Amazon app back to function in no time.
How to Fix if Amazon App Doesn’t Work on iPhone?
Restart the Amazon app
Sometimes it’s just software glitches that prevent the Amazon app from loading its pages for running operations. The only thing you gotta do is close the app completely. You might have heard about Force Stopping an App.
Here are the steps to close an app on iOS, If you have an iPhone X or a newer Model.
- Open the App Switcher from the bottom of the screen.
- Swipe your apps to find the Amazon app.
- Close the app completely. Doing this will remove the app from running even in the background.
If you’re using an iPhone 8 or earlier models, press the home button twice to find the app switcher. Finally, swipe up the app to close it completely.
Note: In case your iPhone’s home button doesn’t work properly, work through the iPhone’s Assistive Touch feature as it imitates the iPhone’s Home screen button and follow the same steps.
After successfully closing the app, relaunch the app and check whether the app is still facing crashes.
Ensure that your internet connection is stable
Possibly, your internet connection is not very smooth, and the app is now facing working errors due to connectivity issues.
The app needs to go online either by your mobile network or Wi-Fi. Poor connections delay the loading of pages and browsing a lot. A secure and smooth connection will eliminate the issue within no time.
Update your Amazon app
The current version of the Amazon app might face issues with your recent phone update, or maybe your phone’s operating system is incompatible, so it’s better to update your app to solve the problem.

Clear the Cache
Although a less common but possible glitch that might be causing trouble in the Amazon app is the cache, when the catch gets corrupted, it creates a hindrance in the app.
For an iPhone, the only way you can clear the catch is to uninstall the Amazon app and then reinstall it again. If it were an android, the cache could be cleared from the settings itself.
