I think it might just be crashing when it's trying to render a quote block. I.e with > like
Test
Which is maybe not surprising considering the log. And this should be why it stops crashing after a while, when the bugged message scrolls away in a chat

Yep confirmed. Deleting/editing (from another device) the messages to remove the quote blocks makes the crashes stop.

Me and all of my contacts have this same bug which means the entire messenger is unusable. So +1. I find it incredible that such an obvious thing has passed by basic testing? It seems since about the last 2-3 months nobody at Wire really cares about the android release anymore. Just take a look at how the reviews in google app store have changed recently due to the myriad of bugs and crashes.

Yep, same bug here, block quotes seem to have wrecked everyone in a group chat.

Hi all,
thanks @Powersource for opening the issue and for everyone for adding more information. We will look at the issue and hopefully have a fix out soon.

Hi all,
the fix is ready! It will be released with an upcoming release (not the next one as that's already on its way, but the one after).

@alien2003 the version with the fix has not been released yet. Please wait for the version after 3.43.870, which will probably be 3.44.xxx.
