You may want to try uninstalling and reinstalling the app to see if that resolves the issue.

I had the same problem, clearing the app cache fixed it (not sure if it will return one day).

I have the assumption that no exported backup can be exported to the same smartphones (my wife has the same) and then import the settings on the other smartphone. Then a mistake seems to happen. Maybe that will help you at Newpipe?
