Encountering an error when we use our phone can make us worry unnecessarily. Error messages tell us that something is wrong with our devices. For instance, there is a problem with our phone’s settings if we see the error message “Unfortunately Settings Has Stopped.” on our Android phones.
The “Unfortunately Settings has stopped” error message may occur when we try to access the settings of our device and the system suddenly stopped working. In some cases, it pops up even without getting to the Settings menu. The good news is that there are ways on how you can solve the issue. Check out the steps below.
