Quick Fix for Snapchat Android Problems in Google Play Store

Snapchat is one of the most popular social media platforms, and even though most of the time it works great, some Android users may encounter the annoying ‘’Unfortunately Snapchat has stopped message’’ more than once along with random crashes and freezes. Here is a list of solutions that may be able to solve your issues so you can keep those fires burning high!

Tip 1: Clear app cache

The easiest solution for common issues.

Go to Settings, tap on your app manager, find Snapchat, tap on the app and tap again on Clear Cache. After launching the app, it should work normally.

Tip 2: Clear app data

If clearing the cache does not seem to work, it’s time to clear your app data. Over time, it tends to become corrupt, becoming the source of the malfunction. Keep in mind that all the information Snapchat stored, including ID and password, will be deleted.

Go to Settings, tap on your app manager, find and tap on Snapchat, and tap on the clear app data button. Re-log and check if it worked.

Tip 3: Check if the app is up to date

Open the Play Store app.

Tap on the sidebar

Select ‘’My apps & games’’

Find and tap on Snapchat

Tap on update

Tip 4: Delete and re-install

While in most cases the problems should be fixed by now, if they persist there is one last hope to see your cool Bitmoji again.  There are to methods for deleting an app on your Android device:

1: The fastest one is to find the Snapchat icon on your home screen, tap and hold, and drag it to the uninstall/delete field that should appear on the upper left-side of the screen.

2: Go to Settings, tap on your app manager, find Snapchat and tap on it, and tap on uninstall. You should first delete your cache and app data for a better result.

After deleting your app, simply search for it on the Play store and download it again. Now go back and stock the fire!

The Success of GTA 5 and How it Affects the Release Date of GTA 6

Grand Theft Auto series belong to a top tier of video games, enjoying a lasting success and constantly growing fan base. Its latest title, GTA 5, has managed to remain at the top for the past five years and it still doesn’t show any signs of decline. Regardless of this, the fans keep waiting impatiently for the launch of a new game in the GTA series. Let’s take a closer look at the way in which the popularity of GTA 5 can affect the release date of GTA 6.

GTA 5 – at the top since 2013

The most recent game of the series, GTA 5, has been released in 2013 for Xbox 360 and PS3. Soon after it became available, the title broke the sales and popularity records. Even today, five years since its launch, GTA 5 remains a very influential game and its group of fans, instead of declining in numbers, keep on growing. The reason behind this longevity can be attributed to frequent releases of patches and other downloadable content, as well as an introduction of GTA Online.

As the game remains at the top, it is unlikely that Rockstar will decide to stop investing in GTA 5, especially since there is still a lot of room for improvement. For now, the company seems to focus on upcoming Red Dead Redemption, which is set to further refresh the game. However, it doesn’t stop the community of fans from speculating about the next title in line – GTA 6. It is rumored that once Red Dead Redemption is released, the company will start looking towards the future.

What is the most probable release date for GTA 6?

It is extremely likely that GTA 6 will not be released for the current console generation, which means that at the earliest, we should expect the new title to be launched in 2020 with the arrival of the next consoles by Microsoft and Sony. However, there is a small chance that GTA 6 would be one of the first games released for the next-gen platforms, so its debut will be postponed further in time.

According to Michael Pachter, a game industry analyst, the release of GTA 6 will happen sometime in 2022. This estimate seems to be quite realistic, as it would place the launch of the title near the end of the premier cycle of games developed for the next-gen consoles. At the moment, it looks like we will have to wait for Red Dead Redemption and beyond, to see what the future brings for GTA 6.

Samsung Galaxy S11 in the Future, Maybe a Samsung Galaxy S20

We know that history is there to give us a lesson right? Do you remember the Huawei P10? After its success, we were expecting the P11. However, the company skipped a few numbers and delivered us the P20 and the P20 Pro.

Richard Yu, the company’s CEO, offered a pretty good explanation as to why that happened. Because they thought that the new version is far better than the P10, they felt that just adding another digit won’t do the new product any justice. That’s how they got up to 20.

July 20th delivered us quite a blow, that we might not see another Galaxy S beyond the S10. Maybe Samsung is shifting its focus on something completely different, like a phone that folds or that looks like a Note but there’s yet another possibility which might be Samsung’s changing its naming convention.

It wouldn’t be the first time that Samsung pulled this on us. In August 2011, when the company introduced the S family of products it became an official naming convention. However, Samsung already had R, W, M, and Y, which means that it could happen again.

In South Korea and the European Union Samsung has registered the A10, A30, A50 and A70 which means that, after Samsung A8, we can expect an A10 or an A30 and so on. This is another clue that the company might try to release a Samsung S20, followed by, perhaps, an S30.

The Galaxy 9 and the Galaxy Note 9 represent the last models featuring a single digit representative. The name convention change could happen in 2020, which is yet another reason for the company to deliver an S20 at the mark of a new decade.

There are even some voices that speak about Samsung opting for simplifying the device names, for example Samsung A30 or Samsung S40. However, since Samsung invested a lot of time and money on furnishing the Galaxy brand, it seems unlikely that this scenario would happen.

Apple already had a busy year in 2018 and, according to what’s coming next, this year would become even more restless for the Cupertino-based company. Apple plans on releasing a series of new iPhone mobile, MacBooks, and iPads. In the latter category, there would be an iPad Pro 3, also dubbed as iPad Pro 2018.

As some rumors voiced out, Apple would release two different iPads this year, one with a 10.5-inch display and another with a 12.9-inch screen, both with reduced edges and, most probably, with a high screen-to-body ratio.

iPad Pro 3 (iPad Pro 2018) – Release Date

According to the last year’s iPad releases, which rolled out during June, many Apple fans expected the company to launch its 2018 iPads during the same month. However, that didn’t happen, obviously, and everything hints to a release during the upcoming autumn.

The latest reports suggest that the new iPad Pro 3 tablets would hit the stores’ shelves in September or October.

As regarding the CPU the iPad Pro 3 would boast, some rumors say that the upcoming iPad Pro 2018 versions could come out with a new Apple processor, a more powerful one than that used for the 2017 iPad models.

However, some fans would love the iPad Pro 3 models to boast water resistance, better productivity, OLED technology, enhanced battery life, a new design, and, of course, more affordable prices.

The upcoming iPad Pro 2018 models would come out at costs in the usual range of Apple tablets. Namely, the 10.5-inch iPad Pro 3 would cost from $649 up, while the 12.9-inch model would have a starting price of $799.
