@Erickgtgamas would you mind sharing a crash report? That should give the team what they need to dig in. Here are the instructions for retrieving https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/acquiring-crash-reports-and-diagnostic-logs#Locate-crash-reports-and-memory-logs-on-the-device.

It would also be helpful context to know if you’ve modified the default menu items/ordering in any way, or are using Brave VPN?

Thank you!

I remember changing the quick options to give me quicker access to enable desktop mode in the 3 dots menu but it still worked when having done that and also i never use the brave vpn

And heres a link to the crash report

Also don’t pay attention if it says if it happened on the 11th of June had to change the date on my phone to make it easier to find the crash report

@Erickgtgamas thank you for sending! After review, unfortunately this looks to be an iOS bug, and in order to fix it’s recommended that you update your device.

Damn updating really is the only solution.
thanks for helping me figure out the problem.

I don’t wanna update to a newer Ios for future possibility of jailbreaking my phone but ill live like this if I have to
