Pokemon Go Don’t Update to 0.269.0 Yet, Increased Crashing on Android Devices Report

Trainers, it looks like the latest Pokemon Go update causes constant crashes on Android, and Niantic is looking into it.
The latest Pokemon Go update 269 causes increased crashing on Android devices for some players, and it looks like the issue is on their side. Niantic and Pokemon Go acknowledged the issue and are currently investigating.
What happens is the game crashes on the loading screen or before the map loads with the latest 0.269.0 update. Now, the miners warned us about the ‘crashing on update’ issue on April 24, 2023. They said the issue is not widespread (back then), and the game keeps constantly crashing after updating the game. They recommend doing a fresh game install if the game keeps crashing after updating it to version 0.269.0.
There is no info about what seems to be causing this issue yet, but we do expect an official announcement soon.
Trainers on the latest update, we are aware of and investigating an issue causing increased crashing on certain Android devices for some Trainers that have updated to this version. We will update here once we have more information.
