Telegram crashes consistently on iOS after logging into this account.
The account itself works normally in Telegram Web. In the iOS app, Settings and Contacts can be opened normally, and individual chats can be accessed through Contacts or Search. However, opening the main Chats list causes the app to crash.
A chat opened through Contacts can also be used to type a normal text message, but pressing Send causes the app to crash. This happens with plain text and in different chats, so the issue does not appear to be related to a specific chat, emoji, sticker, GIF, or media file.
The issue persists after updating iOS and completely reinstalling Telegram.
The crash log reports SIGABRT and includes the following stack: DCTMultiAnimationRenderer-FirstFrame → rlottie::Animation::renderSync → LOTPolystarItem::updatePath → VPath::VPathData::addPolystar → __cxa_throw → abort
A second crash log reproduced the same stack.
The app is currently practically unusable on iOS, while the same account works normally through Telegram Web.
A full crash log and screen recording are available and can be provided to the Telegram QA team if needed.
Steps to reproduce
Launch Telegram normally by tapping the Telegram app icon.
The app crashes immediately.
Long-press the Telegram icon and select Change Icon.
Telegram opens through this menu instead of crashing.
Open Settings. It opens normally.
Open Contacts. It also opens normally.
Tap Chats. Telegram crashes immediately.
Alternatively, open a chat by going to Contacts, selecting a contact, and opening their chat.
Type a normal text message.
Press Send. Telegram crashes immediately.
Repeat with different chats. The crash remains reproducible.
Use the same account in Telegram Web. The account works normally there.
Reinstall Telegram and update iOS. The crash persists.
Current result
Telegram crashes consistently on iOS when opening the main Chats list and when pressing Send for a normal text message in chats opened through Contacts.
The crash is reproducible every time and the crash logs contain the same rlottie/LOTPolystarItem stack ending in SIGABRT.
Expected result
Telegram should open the main Chats list without crashing and should allow normal text messages to be sent without crashing.
please do something about this bug as soon as possible because this is an absolute pizdec blyat nightmare. i can't open the app on either my iPhone or my MacBook - it crashes immediately on launch. The only thing that works is the web version. Updating the apps and restarting the devices doesn’t help at all. And having to delete all my sticker packs, emoji packs, and chats just in the hope that this stupid bug magically goes away is honestly ridiculous. Please, please fix this ASAP. Thank you.
I deleted the entire sticker pack and completely cleared my recently used stickers, and it still made absolutely no difference. The app keeps crashing exactly the same way.
How am I supposed to figure out which exact sticker or chat is causing the crash when I have thousands of sticker packs and thousands of chats where those stickers may have been used? I already cleared my recently used stickers and I deleted the sticker pack I’d been using most recently. What else am I supposed to do? This bug started right after I tapped the clock icon on iphone (the one that opens the recently used stickers)
Telegram crashes randomly while typing Telegram suddenly crashes and closes completely while I am using it on my iPhone. The crash usually happens while I am typing a message in a chat. After the crash, Telegram is no longer running in the background. This happened several times, including yesterday and today, while I was typing. I have already tried: Restarting the iPhoneCompletely deleting and reinstalling Telegram twiceUpdating iOS to the latest available version I am using the latest version of Telegram and the latest version of iOS. The issue still occurs even after reinstalling Telegram and updating iOS. I am using an iPhone 17 Pro Max and have three Telegram accounts logged in. The app initially works normally after installation and login, but after some time it suddenly crashes while I am using it. This does not appear to be related to a specific account because the crash can happen while using Telegram normally. Steps to reproduce: Open Telegram.Open a chat.Start typing a message.Telegram may suddenly crash and close completely. Please investigate this issue, as it makes Telegram unusable.
