Therefore, if at the opening notes that the internet is unstable, will fall.

How to fix the charging error on iPhone and Android?

In case the above solutions didn't work for you, don't worry, as our team of experts have selected some much more useful options that can help you fix the problem faster. Among these are:

Free up space on your mobile

This is probably the most common cause of PUBG not launching on a large number of phones. It turns out that, despite people not realizing it, saving images from WhatsApp and other applications ends up filling up the phone's storage space. In this case, we advise you to make a backup of your images or simply to eliminate them.

Many phones don't delete photos right away. On the vast majority of Android phones and even iPhones, you will have to press the "trash" button. In Android it is located in the upper right part of the menu. You can identify this menu with the button with three horizontal bars.

On the iPhone you will have to open the gallery application and go to the albums. Once there, you will have to go down to the last of these, which will have the name "recently deleted".

On the other hand, you can remove apps from your phone. In the case of Android, you need to access your phone's settings menu by pulling down the notification bar and pressing the button in the top right corner. This takes you to the settings menu. In the «Applications» option you will be able to see all the apps on the phone and even delete them if you wish.


For iPhones, the process is similar. You have to go to the 'Options' app and among the menus it offers you will find one that says 'Storage'. When you press it you will see the button that says "App". 

Use a stable internet connection

This is often one of the reasons why the App does not start. Instead of being an issue caused by your phone's capabilities, the app restarts as it gets no response from the game server. To solve this problem, you can start playing using your mobile data, as multiplayer games they only spend a total of 38MB per hour of play.

To solve these problems being on a private network, you need to make sure that the people who are connected are not making video calls, making heavy downloads, or uploading files to the network, as this all raises a value called 'Latency'. If the latency is very high, the server automatically refuses the download.

Another solution that can be applied to the problem is to configure the router you are connected to to give you a faster connection, but to usual this operation comes performed only by technicians. In this case, you should ask him if he allows you to restrict the router at the next technical visit. This is done in case a neighbor or unwanted person is accessing the network.

Keep the game updated to the latest version available

This is the simplest method, because as mentioned above: in case the server has connection problems, the game will restart. 

When your version of the game is very old, the server automatically refuses the connection. In this case, you have to go to App Store or Play Store and check that you have the latest version of the App.

Clear game data and cache

To do this, you will need to open the "Settings" menu. To do this, you will open the app drawer and look for an icon that looks like a gear. Pressing it will open the configuration app. This applies to both Android and iPhone, as the setup app does found in the main menu of the iPhone.

When you log into the app, go down and you will find a button that says "Applications". When you press it, you will see a menu showing all applications. If you click on any of these, a page will open where you can see the options «Clear cache» and «Stop application». If you search for PUBG and follow the procedure of the "Clear cache" button, the game may work better.

Uninstall and install again

For that, you will follow the universal method of finding the app that we have mentioned above. If you click the "Uninstall" button, you will delete all game data on your device. In order to play again you have to download it again from the Play Store, so we recommend that you do so at night when the internet is fast.

This causes all incorrect installation packages to be fixed and the game starts correctly.

Check if your device is compatible with the game

This is a general rule of thumb, as the game requires minimal hardware from the phone to run properly. In the case of mobile phones, ranging from iPhone to Android, PUBG requires:

  • Android Lolipop o versioni successive.
  • 2GB of RAM.
  • 1,5 GB of storage.
  • Any device above the fifth generation is required for Apple phones and tablets.

Check if the graphic setting is compatible with our mobile

This is a problem that sometimes occurs when people try to render the game with very high graphics and as a result they cannot run the game smoothly as it will not work with a decent amount of FPS. 

To fix this, start the game and don't enter a game. You will need to go to the configuration menu and then go to the graphics section. You will need to lower the graphics to low or medium so that your phone can carry out correctly the maps.

Change server

For this, you'll need to use a VPN that you can download from the Google Play Store and mask your connection to make it look like it's from another country. If you don't want to do this, you have to tell a friend who is connected to the server that you want them to invitations to a game to switch servers.

Use the "Repair" button

When you start the game, without logging into your account except at the beginning of the App, you will be able to see a button with a wrench at the top right of the screen. When you open this window, you will be given 5 options: Routine repair; Restore the game; Delete maps; Restart; Resource repair. Each of these will improve the performance of your game.

Go to PUBG lite

This is a version with much more moderate and optimized graphics. It's made for low-end phones and you can download it for free via the Google Play Store.

What to do if PUBG Mobile Emulator for PC stays on the loading screen?

If you are on a PC, you will need to make sure that the emulator you are using is compatible with the App. Generally, Bluestacks, which is the most famous emulator, is compatible with the App. However, if you don't use Bluestacks, you should check the list of compatible applications on the website where you downloaded the emulator.
