- Both the stable and beta builds of the app appear affected.

Do you know how to get around without your phone anymore? Where do you actually live, anyway? Who even sells paper maps in 2024? Finding yourself without access to the guidance of your favorite GPS-connected navigation app can be nothing short of anxiety-inducing. Unfortunately, that’s just the fate that a bunch of Google Maps users find themselves in today, with the app crashing on them. Luckily, there’s a simple fix.
Our colleague Mishaal Rahman shares the news over on X, where he reports that Maps has started crashing when users fire up the app. The issue does not appear tied to a broader platform release, and is affecting users on Android 14 and Android 15 alike. It’s not simply a new glitch on the latest beta build of Maps, either, and is impacting users on the stable channel as well.
