Exact same issue. Android 9, Samsung Galaxy S8. I think I also started experiencing it around late November 2024.

Happens 100% of the time without fail.

There was a fix for an Android video crash in 1.96.3:

https://github.com/bluesky-social/social-app/releases/tag/1.96.3

So you might want to update your app to the latest version and see if you're still experiencing the issue.

Google Play still shows 1.96.2. I'll wait for the rollout. By the way, F-Droid builds look like a good idea.

1.96.3 was released on 2 January so you should definitely be able to update to it.

@haileyok do you know what might be going on here?

@surfdude29, nothing

I switched to GitHub Releases version with updates via Obtainium (surprised that your app is not on F-Droid already!), but it's still strange that Google Play holds the update for more than two weeks...
