I've had this problem a few years ago, updated the app, didn't change. I don't remember what made it stop.

Having the same problem again since yesterday. No updates available. Beta user. Rebooted my phone.

I can not interact in chats in these 5 seconds. I can read messages but can't react with an emoji or answer, even If I'm quick enough to send et before it crashes again after 5 seconds.

my current workaround is using signal on my laptop but that's not very practical if I'm on the move.

Anyone having similar problems?

What do I need to consider regarding chat backups /safety key before de- and reinstalling the app? I've lost my chats several times over the last years due to my lack of thoroughness regarding backups.
