It’s a part of the internal memory (RAM) on your smartphone and since it will be full, many apps including this one, won’t be able to work properly.
What is Showbox Server Error?
Sometimes, the users face the server issues while using Showbox and the main reason why this problem occurs is because you haven’t updated your app to the latest version which has been released. The app loses it’s connection with the server which would be located anywhere around the world and this is why this error message pops up on your screen.
