Hi, what version of Android is the tablet running? (The note 9 is old enough that there may be API compatibility issues, see: https://docs.cwtch.im/docs/getting-started/supported_platforms)
Are you able to use adb to fetch the crash log off the device? If it isn't a version issue, then that is the best way to narrowing down the cause.

HI, thanks for the report.
We do have plans for an experiment setting that would stripe common image/video/audio metadata, but it is not currently funded.
On the avif front: which platform is this in regards to, and is it the case that the image isn't displaying properly in the app or that the file download itself is having issues?

This release is a small bugfixes update, with an upgraded bundled Tor, and a fix that prevented Cwtch 1.15.0+ from running out-of-the box on some linux systems

Today we are releasing Cwtch 1.14.7 🎉
This fix mainly addresses several long standing issues with Android, but also contains an important update to libCwtch which prevented some contacts from exchanging profile images.
