Twitter

Twitter has released today an update to its Android app to fix a bug that caused the app to crash immediately when you opened it.

Yesterday, Twitter's Support account warned users not to update to the latest Android version because they are "investigating a problem" that could cause the app to immediately crash when it is opened.

Today, Twitter released an updated Twitter for Android app that brings its version v8.28.1. This update does not include any new features and only resolves the crash issues experienced by its users as seen by its changelog:

"You may not be able to *see* the changes, but we've made a few to keep your Twitter running at 100%."

As an interim fix before this update was released, one user offered a solution that worked for numerous other Twitter for Android users to resolve the crashes.

"Solution on Android is to go into Settings/Apps and on Twitter Application to delete under storage the Data and Cache. Then it works fine, just re-enable dark theme in case you use it."

If you are using Twitter for Android v8.28.0, you should upgrade to v8.28.1 to resolve the crashes.
