What iOS version please?

Phone is iOS 16.6 and the app is version 3.2.12. I have auto-update on so it is always the most up-to-date version.

This happened to me a month or so ago. I also have auto updates on for my iPhone. I thought it would fix itself after a couple days, but it just kept crashing. Eventually I tried deleting the app and redownloading it and that fixed it. Worth trying if you haven’t yet.
