If you’re among the many Android users seeing the Google app repeatedly crash with the error "Google keeps stopping," you’re not alone. On Saturday evening, a large number of users reported this issue, and it’s still being experienced as of Sunday morning.

Update: The Google app is now working again for some Android users as of around 11:00 PM PT. However, the issue has not been fully resolved for everyone.

What’s Going On?

There’s an ongoing issue with serving in Google Search that’s affecting a large number of users searching on the Google app on Android. The company acknowledged the "service disruption" at 23:07 PT. Here’s what’s happening:

• Opening the Google app via the homescreen icon will result in a crash. You’ll briefly see the app load before being returned to the homescreen.
• The Google Search bar widget momentarily shows your past queries before crashing.
• The Pixel Launcher search bar continues to work for device lookup, but entering a query briefly loads the results page before crashing.
• Google Discover (on the left of your homescreen) won’t launch, and tapping the Voice Search microphone also stops the Google app.
• Android shows a "Google keeps stopping" message after repeatedly attempting to launch the app.

Workarounds and Affected Devices

So, what can you do while waiting for a fix? Here are some alternatives:

• Use the website version of Google Search via Chrome or other mobile browsers.
• Try the latest stable (15.35) or beta (15.36) versions of the Google Search app, as the issue affects both.
• Use the Gemini app, which continues to work.

The issue has been reported on Google Pixel, Samsung Galaxy, and other Android devices running Android 15, 14, and (presumably) earlier.
