I started to write a messag. Then I switched to the calculator. Switched back to the message. I switched to the calculator 3 or 4 times. After the last time, delta chat hung and finally crashed.

It happened once.  
Or you tried several times and the same thing always happened …

I just tried Delta Chat for the first time after installing the newest release and it directly happened.

the title says iOS, but the category is desktop…  
So which one is it?
