Description of the issue: when opening the brave app the app seems to hang. Not initializing fully and leaving the app open but unable to be utilized (no tabs, search, Home Screen etc).

How can this issue be reproduced?

  1. In my case just opening the app on the iPhone 16 pro max was all it takes to reproduce.

  2. Steps I’ve taken to rectify it. Opening it in airplane mode, offloading the app data, restarting and then opening it. Deleting the data restarting, downloading and opening it (all of this happened with icloud and app back up off.

Expected result: I expect the app to open.
