Description
After updating to iOS 18.4 and the latest version of Telegram, the app crashes immediately upon opening any chat. Prior to this, the app exhibited freezing and delays (2–5 seconds) when opening chats. This start when I used sticker (any) in any chat. Now I can not use the app because right after touching any chat it is crashing now.
Expected Behavior
There is any bug in stickers, bug and app version because this issue is related to stickers but all of my friends with the latest telegram version can use app normally.
Actual Behavior
Steps to Reproduce
- Open the Telegram app.
- Tap on any chat.
- The app crashes instantly.
Environment
Device: `iPhone’
iOS version: 18.4
App version: 11.9
Troubleshooting Steps Taken:
- Cleared cache.
- Restarted device.
- Ensured no proxies or VPNs are active. Note: Reinstalling the app temporarily resolves the issue but results in the loss of secret chats, which I aim to avoid.
Request
Please investigate this issue, as it significantly impacts usability. If additional logs or information are needed, I’m willing to provide them.
It triggers when any sticker is sent in a secret chat. After that, Telegram becomes completely unusable — only a full deletion and reinstallation from the App Store helps.
