IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) is a framework to facilitate services like VoLTE or Wi-Fi calling on Android smartphones. IMS service crashing or stopping working is not a common problem on Android phones, but it comes out now and then. A few years back, Samsung Galaxy S9 units got this error after an update. LG smartphone users on T-Mobile are reporting this issue.

The company is working to fix this issue. Meanwhile, users can try this workaround on their phones to solve the “LG IMS has stopped” error.
